Chart of the day: Flows to emerging market equity funds

In terms of fund flows, 2011 does not seem to be turning out well for emerging markets. In fact, today's chart of the day shows that funds have been withdrawn from emerging markets in 2011 so far as compared to 2009 and 2010. In those years, investors rushed to emerging market shores to capitalise on the strong growth opportunities there as the developed world languished in recession. Now with inflation rearing its ugly head and food prices soaring, concerns have begun to emerge from these fast growing markets too.
