eVestment: Funds pulled US$38bil from global markets in 2016


LONDON: Sovereign wealth funds pulled US$37.8bil from global stock and bond markets in 2016, data from research firm eVestment showed, although fourth quarter flows showed a slowdown in the rate of redemptions.

Oil-backed sovereign wealth funds (SWFs) have been under pressure since oil prices tumbled from their mid-2014 highs of US$115 a barrel, and 2016 marks their third year of net selling.
