Global Equity Funds Lose $5.87B After 13 Straight Weeks of Inflows

Global equity funds recorded withdrawals of $5.87 billion in the week ended August 26, 2026, ending a 13-week run of inflows. It was the first weekly outflow since May 20, 2026, making the reversal notable after more than three months of sustained buying, according to Reuters data published by Investing.com.

The headline withdrawal did not amount to a uniform retreat from equities. Fund flows were sharply divided by region, while technology and precious-metals funds continued to draw fresh money during the same reporting week.
