The inflows in the week to November 20 trounced the prior week's inflows of $200 million, data from the report, which also cited data from fund-tracking firm EPFR Global, showed.
European stock funds reaped $1.9 billion in new cash over the weekly period, marking 21 straight weeks of inflows, the data showed.
