Fund flows flip positive after Budget and US election

The article from MoneyWeek discusses a notable shift in investor behavior as fund flows have turned positive for the first time in over a year. Previously, investors were pulling money out of funds, particularly equity funds, due to economic uncertainties and market volatility. However, recent data indicates a reversal with investors now adding money into equity funds, especially those focused on the US market, which has seen a significant influx. This change is attributed to several factors including a more optimistic economic outlook, lower inflation rates, and expectations of a pause or reduction in interest rate hikes by central banks. The article also notes that while equity funds are seeing inflows, bond funds continue to experience outflows, suggesting a nuanced investor approach where risk appetite is increasing but not uniformly across all asset classes. This trend might signal the beginning of a broader recovery in investor confidence.
