The total assets of investment funds in Cyprus rose by €169.2 million, an increase of 2.3 per cent in March 2025, compared to December 2024, reaching €7.53 billion, according to the Central Bank of Cyprus (CBC).

The increase in assets was mainly driven by a rise in the value of shares and related securities held by these funds, which grew by approximately €264.6 million to a total of €5.55 billion.

What is more, the central bank reported that the number of investment funds operating in Cyprus decreased slightly, from 338 in December 2024 to 336 in March 2025.

Despite the reduction in the number of funds, their total assets recorded an overall increase, reaching €7.53 billion in March 2025, compared to €7.36 billion in December 2024.

Moreover, when compared to March of the previous year, their total assets grew by €750.1 million.

Central bank data also showed that deposits and loans held by these organisations rose marginally to €837.8 million at the end of March 2025, up from €834.7 million in December 2024.

In contrast, the value of debt securities held by investment funds fell to €604.2 million in March 2025, down from €695.3 million in December 2024.
