Institutional Investors Sell $3.1 Billion in U.S. Stocks, Hedge Funds Dump $1 Billion Amid Ongoing Outflows

Institutional investors have been consistently selling U.S. equities over recent weeks, with notable outflows recorded in July 2025. According to Bank of America data, professional investors sold approximately $3.1 billion in single stocks and ETFs last week, marking the largest single stock sale since July 2023 and the sixth largest outflow on record. Hedge funds also contributed to the sell-off, recording their third consecutive week of selling and offloading $1.0 billion. Another report indicated institutional investors sold $4.3 billion in single stocks and net $3.0 billion including ETFs last week. This trend reflects selling activity in 8 to 9 of the past 10 weeks. Despite the institutional sell-off, retail investors have partially offset these outflows by continuing to buy U.S. equities.
