The foreign inflows in the U.S. equity funds have started “re-accelerating,” putting 2025 on the path to become the second-largest year of record inflows of $136 billion, annualized as of mid-2025.
What Happened: According to an X post by the Kobeissi Letter, since 2020, overseas investors have poured $547 billion into U.S. assets, and the foreign purchases of U.S. assets are on track to reach $138 billion in 2025.
However, out of this $138 billion, the investor interest in U.S. equity funds alone could lead to inflows of about $136 billion, the second-highest after 2024.
Such funds have garnered inflows of approximately $350 billion since the beginning of 2020. “After a brief pause, international buying of US assets is back,” the post highlighted.
