Equity funds struggle; Primary issuance muted

cumulative outflow from regional equity funds over nine weeks

In the week ending March 25 there was $476 million of net outflow from regional equity funds, bringing the cumulative outflow during this period to more than $6 billion.

The trend has probably eliminated the chance of new issuance in Latin America’s equity capital markets in the near future in a year when many observers expected record volumes.
