• Nordnet’s August 2026 fund flows showed a shift toward broad global equity exposure, with global index funds leading net buying.
• Technology funds stayed near the top of purchase lists, signaling renewed risk appetite versus narrower thematic allocations.
• Defense sector funds saw heavy net selling as investors took profits following a period of strong performance and more recent flattening.
• Nuclear energy funds also faced continued outflows, extending a reversal from last year’s strong retail demand.
• Fixed-income flows split between profit-taking in high-yield and selective moves into higher-risk high-yield variants or cash-like liquidity funds.
