Chinese stock funds saw the largest weekly outflow since October, as the government seeks to stem a decline in the stock market, according to Bank of America Corp. strategists.

About $1.6 billion was pulled from Chinese funds in the week through Feb. 28, a team led by Michael Hartnett wrote in a note, citing EPFR Global data. Emerging market funds overall had their first redemptions since November at $1 billion.
