US Equity Funds See Largest Weekly Outflow in Five Months Ahead of Nvidia Earnings, Fed Event
U.S. equity funds experienced a net outflow of $22.33 billion during the week ending August 26—the largest weekly withdrawal since March 18, according to LSEG Lipper data. The exodus reflects investor caution ahead of Nvidia’s earnings and Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh's remarks at the Jackson Hole Symposium. Large-cap funds saw a net outflow of $24.73 billion, while mid- and small-cap funds attracted modest inflows. Nvidia recently projected 70% higher revenue for its next fiscal year amid AI demand concerns despite supply constraints. Meanwhile, three Fed officials warned that inflation could remain elevated, increasing market uncertainty around monetary policy. In contrast, U.S. bond funds continued to attract investors with $7.12 billion in net inflows over the week.
