Investment: 48 percent net inflow for an arms company: That's how 450,000 Germans invested in July

In July, 450,000 German customers of the online broker Flatex altered their investment positions, according to data exclusively provided to the Handelsblatt. Among the 200 largest stock positions, 21 showed net inflows of more than six percent. The highest inflow was observed in the shares of a German company, with a 48 percent increase.

Flatexdegiro analyzed the portfolios of all its German clients for this evaluation, finding that equities still accounted for 45.7 percent of the invested wealth, followed by investments in ETFs at 44 percent. While ETFs in July generated a slight gain of 0.4 percent, stock positions incurred a loss of 3.1 percent. The analysis also reveals that investors heavily focused on one particular industry, while another saw a net outflow of nearly seven percent.
