Japanese equity funds log sharpest weekly outflows since 2007

Japanese equity funds logged their largest weekly outflows in nearly 18 years in the week to May 28, as investors either booked profits following a rally fueled by the then-easing U.S.-China trade tensions or turned cautious on earnings potential. According to LSEG Lipper data, Japanese equity funds recorded net outflows of $7.49 billion, marking the largest weekly withdrawal since July 4, 2007. Daisuke Motori, director of manager research at Morningstar Japan, said the outflows from Japanese equity funds in May reflected a familiar pattern, with investors buying during April's dip and selling into the May rebound.
