Global equity funds recorded their largest outflows on record in the week to Wednesday, as heavy withdrawals from the U.S. and China outweighed a relatively strong showing in other regions, BofA Global Research said. World stock funds saw $43.2 billion in outflows combined in the week through to Wednesday, with the U.S. seeing $16.8 billion in outflows and Chinese stocks seeing $49.2 billion in outflows, BofA said in its weekly roundup of flows in and out of world markets using data from EPFR.
