Of the 20 funds that have seen the highest outflows this year, nine are offered by Fidelity. Morningstar reports that fellow fund heavyweights American Funds and Vanguard each had two of the top 20 outflow spots. Morningstar notes that most of the list is made up of large blend and large growth funds, as "large-growth underperformers ... are apt to be in the red."

Fidelity Magellan tops the 2006 YTD net redemptions list with outflows of $6.3 billion so far. American Century Ultra (net outflows of $3.9 billion), American Funds Washington Mutual ($3.7 billion), Vanguard 500 Index ($3.4 billion) and Fidelity Low-Priced Stock ($2.4 billion) round out the top five.
