Morphology
The phrase combines literal constituents: 'inflow' (movement entering) + 'of' (linking particle) + 'funds' (financial resources), so its meaning — money coming into an organization/system — is directly derivable from the parts. This compositional noun-of-noun pattern is common in English and cross-linguistically, so a B1 learner who knows the words would readily understand it.
Etymology
Inflow of funds uses a simple water image: imagine water flowing into a pool, where the inflow brings funds ('money') into a group, business, or country. So, it means 'money moving into' an organization, market, or place.
