Global equity funds recorded their largest weekly inflow in over two months, supported by improved investor sentiment and reduced fears of energy market disruption.
Data from LSEG Lipper showed investors added $37.77 billion to global equities in the week through March 25, reversing a recent selling trend.
U.S. equity funds led gains with $37.24 billion in inflows, ending three consecutive weeks of outflows and signaling renewed confidence in domestic markets.
Asian equity funds attracted $5.23 billion, while European funds lagged, posting $7.52 billion in net outflows during the same period.
According to Mark Haefele of UBS, investors should remain cautious but maintain well-diversified portfolios amid evolving risks.
Bond fund demand weakened, with just $2.53 billion in inflows, while high-yield and euro-denominated segments experienced notable withdrawals.
Meanwhile, investors pulled $64.78 billion from money market funds, while commodities and emerging markets continued to face sustained outflows.
