U.S. equity ETFs hemorrhaged assets last week as wobbling markets caused investors to pull funds from the asset class.

More than $14 billion escaped U.S. stock funds in the week ending March 24, etf.com data shows. That’s a reversal from the $17.5 billion that went into the asset class the week prior.

The losses come in the same week the Federal Reserve raised rates 25 basis points, less than what was expected a few weeks ago, after a series of bank collapses and rescues suggested a worrisome fragility to the U.S. and European banking sectors.

The hike brings the federal funds rate to between 4.75% and 5%, the highest level since 2007.

Funds that saw the greatest outflows included the [**Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF (VTI)**](https://www.etf.com/VTI), the [**iShares Select Dividend ETF (DVY)**](https://www.etf.com/DVY) and the [**Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF (VIG)**](https://www.etf.com/VIG). Collectively, the three funds lost $7.3 billion, according to etf.com data.

Meanwhile, the [**iShares ESG Aware MSCI USA ETF (ESGU)**](https://www.etf.com/ESGU) bled nearly $5.2 billion last week, etf.com data shows. That’s [a record loss](https://www.etf.com/sections/features-and-news/largest-esg-fund-bleeds-cash-amid-political-backlash) for the largest environmental, social and governance index fund, which may be shedding billions of dollars as a result of the ongoing political backlash over so-called socially responsible investing.

Nearly that same amount went into the [**iShares MSCI USA Quality Factor ETF (QUAL)**,](https://www.etf.com/QUAL) the top asset gatherer of the week, during the same period.

On the other side of the ledger, U.S. fixed income funds brought in $6.1 billion last week, just shy of the $6.7 billion that bond funds saw the week before.

Among the week’s top asset gatherers were the [**iShares U.S. Treasury Bond ETF (GOVT)**](https://www.etf.com/GOVT) and the [**iShares Core Total USD Bond Market ETF (IUSB)**](https://www.etf.com/IUSB), which collectively hauled in nearly $4 billion, etf.com data shows.
