NEW YORK (Reuters) - Foreign net flows to emerging market equity and debt portfolios slowed in March to their weakest in almost a year as rising U.S. yields continue to weigh on EM, with flows excluding China barely making a blip last month, data from the Institute of International Finance showed on Monday.
The net estimated $10.1 billion in flows in March was the lowest monthly figure since April 2020 and compares with a downwardly revised $23.4 billion net inflows in February.
China took in nearly 90% of net flows last month with $3.8 billion going to equities and $5 billion to Chinese debt instruments. Excluding China, EM equities funneled $0.2 billion while $1.2 billion flowed to non-Chinese debt.
Institutional Investors to put more money into alternatives and multi-Asset strategies Thursday, April 01, 2021
Laxman Pai, Opalesque Asia:
Institutional investors in the post-covid market landscape may be looking to put more money toward multi-asset strategies and shifting money into private (away from the public) markets, said a survey.
According to Nuveen s inaugural Global Institutional Investor Study , the pandemic is causing many institutional investors to shift the assets in their portfolios to alternatives and multi-asset solutions. They are also seeking clarity on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) as an alpha driver. In another signal of portfolio management challenge and opportunity for major institutions, investors are giving stronger consideration to the private markets for alternative investment strategies, while also grappling with significant hurdles to implementation, said the survey.
