With the US having drawn back from the so-called fiscal cliff - and with 2013 having started with less dramatic economic news out of the US - inflows into equity funds have continued to outperform funds flowing into bonds for a second week in a row, according to global fund flows specialist company EPFR Global.

As well, the company said that retail investors had remained in the market. Equity funds have attracted retail money for the second week running - the first time this had happened since the second half of April 2011.

The data suggested that investors continue to be attracted to emerging markets equity and bond funds.

The EPFR analysis said that combined inflows into both emerging markets equity and bond funds for the first 16 days of this year had been over $18 billion, compared to $4 billion for the same period 12 months earlier.
