December Was a $118B Passive Month

Reported by Neil Anderson, Managing Editor

Passive inflows grew by nearly $32 billion last month, even as active outflows grew by nearly $8 billion, according to the latest data from the folks at a publicly traded investment research company.

This article draws from Morningstar Direct data on December 2023 open-end mutual fund and ETF flows, excluding money-market funds and funds of funds. The data also excludes other asset management products, like CITs and SMAs.

SSGA took the lead on the passive side, thanks to an estimated $45.317 billion in net December 2023 passive inflows, up month-over-month from $16.33 billion in November 2023 and up year-over-year from $430 million in net outflows in December 2022. Other big December 2023 passive inflows winners included: BlackRock (including iShares), $27.275 billion (down M/M from $32.785 billion, up Y/Y from $13.833 billion); Vanguard, $22.249 billion (up M/M from $17.855 billion, up Y/Y from $15.672 billion); Fidelity, $9.463 billion (up M/M from $4.912 billion, up Y/Y from $4.425 billion); and Invesco, $8.317 billion (up M/M from $5.414 billion, up Y/Y from $1.795 billion in net outflows).

Fidelity took the active inflows lead last month, thanks to an estimated $1.881 billion in net December 2023 active inflows, up M/M from $1.872 billion in November 2023 active outflows, up Y/Y from $6.73 billion in December 2022 outflows. Other big December 2023 active inflows winners included: Baird (including Strategas), $1.487 billion (up M/M from $667 million, up Y/Y from $220 million in net outflows); J.P. Morgan (including Six Circles), $874 million (up M/M from $699 million, down Y/Y from $4.633 billion); American Century (including Avantis), $838 million (up M/M from $103 million, down Y/Y from $1.266 billion); and Allianz's Pimco, $747 million (up M/M from $719 million, up Y/Y from $7.211 billion in net outflows).

On the flip side, last month was rough for ProShares and ProFunds, which led the passive outflows pack thanks to an estimated $1.802 billion in net December 2023 passive outflows, down M/M from $2.416 billion in net November 2023 inflows and down Y/Y from $498 million in net December 2022 inflows. Other big December 2023 passive outflows sufferers included: Rafferty's Direxion, $858 million (up M/M from $44 million, up Y/Y from $215 million); WisdomTree, $459 million (up M/M from $15 million, down Y/Y from $974 million in net inflows); Jackson, $353 million (up M/M from $163 million, up Y/Y from $284 million); and Allspring, $322 million (up M/M from $33 million, down Y/Y from $41 million in net inflows).

Vanguard led the active outflows pack for a fourth consecutive month, thanks to an estimated $10.628 billion in net December 2023 active outflows, up M/M from $7.478 billion in November 2023 but down Y/Y from $13.273 billion in December 2022. Other big December 2023 active outflows sufferers included: Capital Group (home of American Funds), $9.576 billion (up M/M from $5.781 billion, down Y/Y from $10.65 billion); T. Rowe Price, $5.232 billion (up M/M from $3.098 billion, down Y/Y from $7.238 billion); Franklin Templeton (including Royce), $4.261 billion (up M/M from $4.328 billion, down Y/Y from $6.275 billion); and BlackRock, $3.942 billion (up M/M from $2.804 billion, down Y/Y from $5.356 billion).

Overall, the 141 passive fund firms tracked by the M* team (up M/M from 140, down Y/Y from 157) brought in an estimated $118.097 billion in net passive inflows in December 2023, up M/M from $86.145 billion and up Y/Y from $35.056 billion. 42.5 percent (60) of those firms brought in net passive inflows last month, compared with 42.1 percent (59) in November 2023 and 46.5 percent (73) in December 2022.
