Feb 20 (Reuters) - U.S. equity funds saw a substantial inflow of capital in the week to ‌February 18 on easing worries over a selloff ‌in the technology sector after a cooler consumer price inflation report ​boosted expectations of Federal Reserve rate cuts.

According to LSEG Lipper data, investors racked up a net $11.77 billion worth of U.S. equity funds, registering their largest net purchase for ‌a week since ⁠January 14.

“We maintain an attractive view on the overall U.S. equity market, but investors ⁠should consider diversifying concentrated tech positions,” said Mark Haefele, chief investment officer at UBS Global Wealth Management.

“Within technology, selectivity ​is key.”

U.S. ​equity value funds remained ​in favour for a ‌second straight week, attracting net inflows of $2.65 billion in the latest week. Growth funds, meanwhile, saw net outflows of $2.28 billion.

U.S. sectoral funds attracted $1.82 billion, a second successive weekly net inflow, with industrials and tech witnessing net ‌purchases of $1.3 billion and $1.19 billion, ​respectively.

Investors also poured $10.27 billion into U.S. ​bond funds in ​a seventh straight week of net purchases.

US ‌short-to-intermediate investment-grade funds, general domestic ​taxable fixed ​income funds and short-to-intermediate government and treasury funds attracted a substantial net of $3.61 billion, $2.56 billion and $2.26 billion, respectively.

Money ​market funds, meanwhile, ‌saw $12.79 billion worth of net purchases, their third ​weekly inflow in four weeks.
