"Following investor hesitancy seen so far in 2015, confidence returned in July with the highest net retail sales for over a year.

"Although it remains to be seen what impact August's volatility has on fund sales, retail investors had a strong appetite for equities in July, particularly UK equity funds which saw their highest net sales in over fifteen years."
