Global equity funds pull in $98 billion, their biggest haul since June
Seven-plus weeks of steady inflows show investors still want stocks, with tech, healthcare and financials leading the way
Global equity funds just took in approximately $98.3 billion in net inflows, according to data from LSEG Lipper and Bank of America. That is the largest inflow period since June 2026.
The latest surge sits on top of an already busy year. Annualized flows into global equity funds are running at $1.4 trillion through November 2026.
The week-by-week numbers
In the week ending November 11, global equity funds recorded net inflows of $50.99 billion.
That was the highest weekly figure since September 23.
In the week ending November 4, equity funds brought in $38.63 billion. That marked the seventh consecutive week of inflows into the category.
Technology funds stood out within the weekly data. They attracted $2.62 billion in net inflows during the week ending November 11.
America and tech are doing the heavy lifting
The year-to-date picture is more lopsided. US equity funds have pulled in $656 billion so far in 2026, according to BofA.

Technology sector funds account for $222 billion of the year-to-date inflows, per the same BofA data.
Tech is not the only sector seeing demand, though. Inflows have also been notable in healthcare and financials.
Why investors keep showing up
The data points to three main drivers behind the inflows: stable central bank policies, declining oil prices and a positive earnings outlook.
There is a wrinkle in the sector story. The shifting allocation across tech, healthcare and financials is happening alongside concerns about the cost of AI infrastructure.
Tech still pulled in $2.62 billion in the latest week. Investors appear to be diversifying their bets, not abandoning the sector.
What this means for markets
The concentration in US funds and tech also deserves attention. With $656 billion flowing into US equity funds and $222 billion into tech sector funds year to date, a lot of the year’s money is sitting in a narrow set of places.
The concerns around AI infrastructure costs are the clearest pressure point. If those costs start to weigh on earnings, the sector that has attracted the most money could also be the one most exposed to a reversal.
The $1.4 trillion annualized pace shows how much conviction is already priced into this market.
