Global equity fund inflows jumped to $80bn in the week ending 16 September 2026, up sharply from $10bn the previous week, according to Goldman Sachs Global Investment Research’s weekly fund flows note. The pickup was driven by US-domiciled funds, which swung back to net inflows after several weeks of outflows, while emerging market inflows were led by China and Taiwan funds. Technology funds recorded the largest sector-level net inflows, followed by consumer goods and industrials.
