Since 2007, flows into US assets have been extremely large, with a total of $3.5 trillion in stocks, corporate bonds and US government bonds.
Equity funds use 34%, equivalent to $1.2 billion. After the 2020 pandemic, flows skyrocketed with $2.5 billion converted in just a few years. Even in the late 2022 market, flows continue to flow in, despite recent selling, US flows still record strong flows.
And when put in the name of “helping the people” or “saving the economy”, history has found that most of the money is returned to large corporations and the wealthy class, who then continue to recycle their assets to fight inflation, increasing stock and asset prices, thereby further deepening the gap between rich and poor.
