In the last full week of 2012, investors poured $2.53 billion into stock ETFs, and another $508 million into stock mutual funds, according to Reuters.

According to data from Thomson Reuters’ Lipper service, the inflows into stock mutual funds, while modest, mark a turnaround after six weeks of outflows.

Inflows of $1.26 billion into mutual funds that hold non-U.S. stocks, mostly in emerging markets, offset outflows of $751 million from those that hold U.S. stocks, resulting in net inflow into equity mutual funds. Overall, stock ETFs and stock mutual funds combined attracted $3.03 billion over the period.
