The appetite for chasing higher risk and bigger returns increased last week as flows into emerging market equity funds hit a year-to-date high, a new research has revealed.
Emerging markets bond funds snapped a 10-week losing run and high-yield bond funds had their second best week of 2009 as investors regained more of their appetite for risk during the fourth week of March.
Money market funds, which are generally used by risk-averse investors, posted a third consecutive week of outflows and index funds geared to US equities surrendered $4.5 billion (Dh16.5bn) as more money found its way into actively managed equity and fixed-income funds, according to data released by EPFR Global.
