Global equity funds pull in $98 billion, their biggest haul since June
Global equity funds pulled in approximately $98.3 billion in net inflows, marking the largest inflow period since June 2026, according to data from LSEG Lipper and Bank of America.
The latest surge builds on an already busy year, with annualized flows into global equity funds running at $1.4 trillion through November 2026. In the week ending November 11, these funds recorded net inflows of $50.99 billion, the highest weekly figure since September 23.
Technology funds stood out within the weekly data, attracting $2.62 billion in net inflows during the week ending November 11. This follows $38.63 billion in inflows during the previous week, marking the seventh consecutive week of positive flows into equity funds.
US and tech lead the way
The year-to-date picture shows significant concentration, with US equity funds pulling in $656 billion so far in 2026. Technology sector funds account for $222 billion of these inflows, according to BofA data. Healthcare and financials have also seen notable demand.
Investor drivers and concerns
Three main factors are driving the sustained inflows: stable central bank policies, declining oil prices, and a positive earnings outlook. However, concerns about the cost of AI infrastructure are creating pressure points, particularly for the tech sector that has attracted the most money.
