U.S. investors withdrew $75 billion from stocks in six months, fastest in 16 years, with $52 billion in 2026 alone.

U.S. investors are withdrawing money from domestic stocks at the fastest rate in 16 years, with $75 billion leaving equity products over the past six months. The trend accelerated in 2026, with $52 billion pulled from Wall Street so far.

Concerns over AI risks and weaker performance at home are prompting investors to look abroad, even though a softer dollar makes foreign investments more expensive. Emerging markets are seeing inflows at the fastest pace in five years, according to Bank of America.

As global opportunities become more attractive, many U.S. investors are now evaluating overseas markets for growth potential.
