Fund flows and the Israel-Iran conflict: Exploring geopolitics and asset allocation with EPFR

EPFR’s latest research digest taps our unequalled fund-flow data to examine positioning in oil funds, demand for safe havens and lessons from history. We examine:

• How even in the run-up to Israel’s June 13 attack, tensions in the region had investors positioning themselves – with money pouring into bond and gold funds
• Performance by the most “oil-sensitive” funds, as identified by EPFR’s quant team
• Lessons from history, including fund flows in the wake of the 2019 Houthi drone attack on Saudi oil infrastructure and the surprising increase in allocations to Israel after previous wars
• And related macroeconomic indicators and hard-to-get alternative datasets from our partners at CEIC – examining oil-rig counts and fundamental demand for crude.
