Regardless of the sizable output, the month-to-date BTC flow for May remain positive at $187.a million, as the year-to-date figure is $307 million.

On the better note, the multi-asset group of investment products were able to record as many as $9.seven million price of inflows a week ago. This brings the yearly total inflow in to these products to $185 million, representing 5.3% from the total AUM.
