NEW DELHI: Global investors continued their flight from India-focused equity funds for the fourth week in a row, even as inflows into Asia tripled to $219 million in the second week of February, a latest report says.
Net cash taken in by offshore Asian funds tripled week on week to $219 million in the second week of this month, according to data complied by international fund tracking firm EPFR Global.

Global investors pulled out over $22 million within a week from India-focused funds taking their total outflows in the past four week to nearly $52 million, the report revealed.
Besides, Taiwan funds saw an outflow of 17.6 million dollar in the reviewed week.
Inflows into Asia (excluding-Japan) equity funds were broadly based, with Korea, China, Greater China and Hong Kong equity funds all taking in between 40-145 million dollar.
All four of the major emerging markets equity fund groups tracked by EPFR Global recorded modest inflows during the week ended February 12.
