Global equity funds attract massive inflows as investors buy into market weakness

Global equity funds are drawing substantial investor demand despite the recent selloff in US technology stocks, suggesting that institutional appetite for equities remains resilient.
Bank of America-linked fund flow reports indicate approximately $98 billion in weekly inflows through November 11, potentially among the largest weekly totals on record.
The broader trend points to sustained buying interest, with investors continuing to allocate capital to equities even as concerns over AI valuations, interest rates and economic growth weigh on market sentiment.
However, fund flow estimates vary considerably across data providers. LSEG Lipper recorded $50.99 billion in global equity inflows for the same week, led by $35.13 billion into European funds.
Technology funds attracted another $2.62 billion, indicating that investors have not abandoned the sector despite the recent correction.
The divergence between falling share prices and continued fund inflows suggests investors are taking advantage of lower valuations, although strong inflows do not necessarily signal that the market has reached a bottom.
