Friday, April 17, 2015 7 Titans Swallow 88 Percent of Inflows Seven asset managers accounted for 88.2 percent of all net inflows into U.S. open-end, non-money market mutual funds last month. On Wednesday Morningstar released its monthly report on mutual fund flows. $56.509 billion flowed into U.S. open-end, money market mutual funds in March; $46.97 billion of that went into the top 50 mutual fund families, including $32.509 billion into the top ten families alone. And seven of the biggest families accounted for $49.848 billion in net inflows. The winners among the biggest firms were Vanguard [profile] ($26.499 billion), BlackRock [profile] and its iShares [profile] arm ($9.011 billion combined), Fidelity [profile] ($6.647 billion), Capital Group's American Funds [profile] ($2.165 billion), Dimensional Fund Advisors [profile] (DFA) ($2.11 billion), T. Rowe Price [profile] ($1.943 billion), and J.P. Morgan [profile] ($1.473 billion). Yet WisdomTree [profile] (with $6.659 billion in inflows) surpassed all but Vanguard and BlackRock, and TCW's [profile] MetWest ($2.826 billion) came in above Cap Group. On the flip side, it was another month of outflows for Pimco [profile] ($10.252 billion in March), comparable to its outflows in February ($10.056 billion).
