Emerging market bond funds pulled in $2.14bn in the week to 8 Feb, while emerging market equity funds set a 68-week high of $5.8bn in inflows.
This took year-to-date inflows to $3.8bn and $17bn respectively, compared with $2.7bn and $11.4bn for the same period last year.
In keeping with the increased risk sentiment, high yield bond funds also posted their second-highest weekly inflow on record, and Europe equity funds had their best week in nearly six months.
Overall, EPFR Global-tracked equity funds absorbed $9.83bn in the week, while bond funds took in more than $6bn.
Investors still preferred to hedge their risk, however, buying into funds with diversified exposure, meaning global emerging market, Asia ex-Japan, Latin America and EMEA equity funds saw solid inflows.
