The Open-End Investment Funds industry has been on a roller coaster ride in securities markets over the five years to 2012, according to new coverage of the industry launched by the research firm IBISWorld.

The industry is expected to reach $110.4 billion in revenue in 2012, down from its historic high of $120.8 billion in 2007.

Despite projected growth of 2.4% in 2012, the industry’s revenue will still have declined at a 1.8% average annual rate from 2007 to 2012.

“The five-year growth rate masks the industry's volatile earnings, which fluctuated between several positive and negative swings,” says IBISWorld industry analyst Doug Kelly.
