Inflows Slip 37 Percent to $20.6B


Industry inflows fell 37 percent this week, thanks to a reversal in equity fund flows and and a 46-percent drop in money market fund inflows, according to the latest data from the Lipper team at Refinitiv.

In the U.S. Weekly FundFlows Insight report for the week ending December 8 (i.e. Wednesday), Tom Roseen, head of research services at Refinitiv Lipper, reveals that $20.6 billion net flowed into mutual funds and ETFs in the U.S. this week. That's the industry's eighth week of net inflows in a row, down from $32.5 billion last week.

Money market funds brought in $14.2 billion in net inflows this week, down from $26.3 billion last week. Taxable bond funds brought in $7 billion in net inflows this week, up from $6.8 billion in net outflows. And tax-exempt bond funds brought in $804 million in net inflows this week, up from $36 million.

On the flip side, equity funds suffered $1.5 billion in net outflows this week, down from $13 billion in net inflows last week.

Equity ETFs brought in $7.1 billion in net inflows this week, their tenth week in a row of net inflows, down from $15.9 billion last week. Conventional (i.e. non-ETF) equity funds suffered another $8.5 billion in net outflows this week; it was their ninth week of outflows in a row, up from $2.8 billion.

Within conventional equity funds, domestic equity funds suffered $9.9 billion in net outflows this week, their 24th week in a row of net outflows, up from $3.5 billion last week. Yet conventional non-domestic equity funds brought in $1.4 billion in net inflows this week, their fifth week in a row of net inflows, up from $669 million.

On the fixed income side, taxable bond ETFs brought in $7.7 billion in net inflows this week, their eighth week of inflows in the past nine weeks. And municipal bond ETFs brought in $25 million in net inflows this week, their second week in a row of net inflows.

Conventional taxable bond funds suffered $682 million in net outflows this week, their third week of outflows in a row. And conventional muni bond funds brought in $779 million in net inflows this week, their fifth week of inflows in six weeks.
