Outflows from UK-focused equity funds fell to their lowest level in July since investors turned their backs decisively on their home market three years ago, according to Calastone’ s latest Fund Flow Index. Investors sold a net £207m of their UK-focused fund holdings, the best result for the sector since August 2021, and less than one third of the average monthly outflow year-to-date.
Key highlights from this month’s FFI:
- UK-focused equity fund outflows shrank to £207m in July – lowest since outflows began three years ago
- The election of the Labour government with a large majority prompted a £59m inflow the day after the poll
- Selling of UK-focused funds fell below average and buying rose above average in July
- Net inflows to all equity funds were £2.19bn in July – a record seven months for inflows since January
- North American and emerging market equity funds saw the strongest inflows – the latter a monthly record
