Europe Leads Global Fund Inflows Amidst Tech Turmoil
13 Nov
Summary
- European funds saw the largest weekly inflows since June 2021.
- Global equity funds attracted the highest net inflows since late September.
- Bond and money market funds experienced net outflows in the week.
In the week concluding November 11, 2026, European funds attracted substantial inflows, marking the highest weekly total since June 2021. These inflows, amounting to $35.13 billion, significantly contributed to global equity funds, which saw their largest net purchases since September 23. This positive trend occurred despite a recent downturn in US technology stocks, buoyed by strong corporate earnings and falling crude oil prices.
The pan-European STOXX 600 index reached a record high, supported by robust earnings reports and optimistic outlooks from companies like UniCredit and Siemens Energy. Sector-specific funds also saw activity, with technology, healthcare, and financials drawing in new investments, while industrials experienced outflows.
In contrast to equity markets, global bond funds saw net outflows of $507.89 million, ending a consistent seven-week period of inflows. Government and dollar-denominated bond funds experienced withdrawals, although corporate bond funds saw net purchases. Money market funds also faced significant net withdrawals after a substantial inflow in the prior week.
Commodities, particularly gold and energy funds, continued to attract investors for a second consecutive week. Emerging market equity funds also experienced a notable inflow, though bond funds in this sector saw outflows for the third consecutive week.
