Two months. That's how long the break in Vanguard's fund flows dominance lasted this time.

The information within this article draws from Morningstar Direct data on June 2018 open-end mutual fund and ETF flows (excluding money market funds and funds of funds).

As industry flows soured in June , Vanguard regained the lead thanks to estimated net inflows of $7.356 billion, down from $10.73 billion in May. Other big inflows winners in June included: Edward Jones' Bridge Builder, $3.058 billion (up from $1.558 billion); Fidelity, $2.95 billion (up from $151 million); Schwab, $2.892 billion (down from $4.482 billion); and Pimco, $2.585 billion (up from $1 billion).

On the flip side, June was a rough month for BlackRock, which suffered an estimated $8.759 billion in net outflows, more than any other fund firm and down from $14.941 billion in net inflows in May (when it led the industry inflows). Other big outflows sufferers in June included: SSgA, $6.681 billion (down from $2.021 billion in net inflows); Goldman Sachs, $6.336 billion (down from $646 million in net inflows); Invesco, $3.5 billion (down from $2.821 billion in net inflows); and GMO, $3.451 billion (up from $777 million).

Across the whole industry, mutual funds and ETFs suffered $23.037 billion in estimated net outflows in June, equivalent to about 0.13 percent of industry AUM (which reached $18.33 trillion as of the end of June).
