U.S. equity funds saw an outflow of $22.2 billion during the seven weeks that ended May 3, the largest seven-week redemption in more than a year, according to EPFR Global.

Much of the money is going to Europe. Net inflows into European funds in the first three months of the year hit a five-year high for the first quarter, according to Thomson Reuters Lipper.

Emerging markets are also benefiting.

Sovereign funds pull $18.4 billion from global markets in first quarter 2017

By Claire Milhench

Sovereign wealth funds pulled $18.4 billion from global stock and bond markets in the first quarter of 2017


Global SWF assets effectively stalled at $6.59 trillion in the 12 months to March 2017


Some $16.9 billion was pulled from equity strategies, with heavy selling from U.S. equities. These lost $9.5 billion, whilst global equity strategies lost only $490.6 million, and global passive equity attracted $1.7 billion.


SWFs also withdrew $1.6 billion from fixed income strategies with the selling concentrated in U.S. bonds, which suffered $2.5 billion of outflows.

Laurelli said this was not a strike against U.S. credit, with U.S. corporate bonds attracting $1.5 billion, but rather a result of a $3.9 billion withdrawal from U.S. short-duration strategies.

Global fixed income strategies attracted around $1 billion of net inflows. Emerging market debt also pulled in $123 million, after three consecutive quarters of redemptions.

But emerging market equity mandates continued to suffer withdrawals, with some $2.1 billion redeemed in the first quarter.

Investors continue streak of moving away from U.S. equity funds

By David Randall

U.S. investors took $4.38 billion out of mutual funds and exchange-traded funds that focus on domestic equities in the week that ended June 28, the second straight week of outflows as U.S. stock indices remained near record highs, Investment Company Institute data showed on Wednesday.

At the same time, investors moved $6.74 billion into international equity funds, a slight decline from the $8.56 billion invested in the category the week before.

U.S. bond funds took in $5.38 billion, continuing an unbroken streak of positive weekly inflows for the year to date.

The move away from U.S. stocks continues a year-long trend in which investors continue to favor bonds over domestic equities.

Overall, investors pulled $12.4 billion out of U.S. stock and ETF equity funds between January and the end of May, according to Investment Company Institute data.

Bond funds, meanwhile, saw $170.16 billion in inflows over the same time period.

EM Fund Flows

In the week ending July 5, emerging market bond funds suffered net outflows for the first time this year, with foreign investors withdrawing US$70 million compared with inflows of US$1.8 billion in the week ending June 28.

Emerging market equity funds were hit hard too, with inflows tumbling to US$438 million, down from US$2.5 billion the previous week.

Exchange-traded funds (ETFs), which have become an increasingly important source of inflows into emerging markets, experienced outflows last week for the first time this year.


Cumulative inflows into emerging market bond and equity funds this year still stands at over US$100 billion

Weekly U.S. stock fund flows deteriorate, lowest since April: ICI

by Brendan McDermid

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Investors pulled $11.6 billion from domestic U.S. stock funds during the latest week, the most cash to flee the funds in three months, according to Investment Company Institute (ICI) data on Wednesday.

Nearly $5.1 billion moved into world stock funds and $6.1 billion pivoted into taxable bond funds, marking a 31st straight week of inflows for both categories, according to ICI.

Municipal bond funds recorded $250 million in outflows, their first week of withdrawals since March, the trade group said.

Investors pulled $583 million from commodity funds, including those invested in gold.

US: Fourth consecutive monthly outflow

As of Thursday, US$3.8 billion (HK$29.64 billion) was pulled out of the fund in July, puts it on pace for a fourth consecutive monthly outflow, the longest streak since the start of the bull rally in 2009.

And it isn't just the US$237 billion SPDR fund that's thinning.

Traders took US$2.1 billion out of mutual funds and ETFs in the week ended July 12, ICI data shows.

That compared with US$5.1 billion that went into funds around the world. Bank of America Merrill Lynch's most recent fund manager survey found allocation to US stocks is the most underweight since 2008.

The Inflows Here Are Off the Charts

In the first five months of 2017, a little more than $388 billion has gone into passive investment vehicles.

At that pace, the annual flow into the strategy will exceed $800 billion, doubling the take in 2015 and easily exceeding the $506 billion invested in passive funds in 2016, which was itself record year.

U.S. fund investors shun stocks during second-quarter earnings, buy bonds: Lipper

by Trevor Hunnicutt

Taxable bond funds based in the United States attracted $2.5 billion in their third straight week of inflows. Relatively low-risk money market funds pulled in nearly $19 billion, the data showed.


The $1.4 billion in withdrawals for stock funds marked five weeks of outflows in the past six.


International stock fund inflows of $1.5 billion helped soften the blow of domestic equity fund withdrawals totaling $3 billion.


Commodities funds focused on precious metals posted $928 million of withdrawals during the week, their largest outflows of the year.
