Investors Pull Billions From US Stock Funds Despite Rally
Although US equities were off to a roaring start in 2023, it was apparent during the first six weeks of the year that investors were inclined to favor exposure to the rest of the world.
After a long stretch of outflows, European equity funds attracted new money, and inflows to emerging market stocks and bonds were a tsunami.
Appetite for assets of all kinds waned in recent days, but consider that during the first five weeks of 2023, EM stock and bond funds saw a combined $36.5 billion inflow.
H. You left out the charts.
Now I have them. Thanks
That’s (another) weird Twitter thing. I mean, it’s not necessarily Twitter’s “fault,” but the issue is that when I don’t use a banner image for the articles (which I don’t on the ‘Duly Noted’ columns because it clutters up the home page), Twitter pulls the first chart from the article and posts it (to Twitter). That’s not ideal because in most cases, the charts I make for ‘Duly Noted’ articles are intended for HR+ subscribers. So, I put in a tiny, tiny (~2 seconds) delay on the ‘Duly Noted’ charts so that Twitter doesn’t pull them. In most cases, you won’t notice it because by the time the page loads, they’ll load too. But if you’re lightning-fast on the click, you might need to refresh the page. Again: The delay is less than 2 seconds, and I’m working on a better solution. In any event, 99.99% of the time you won’t notice it.
