Leveraged Loan Funds See Record Outflow on Investor Fears

US leveraged-loan funds had their biggest-ever weekly outflow as investors dump corporate debt across the board on concern that the tariff-spurred market turmoil will hit the economy.

An estimated $6.5 billion was pulled from the funds in the week ended Wednesday, according to data from LSEG Lipper, as prices on the risky debt hit their lowest since mid-2023. The previous record outflow of $3.6 billion was set in December 2018.
