In the U.S. Weekly FundFlows Insight report for the week ending December 15 (i.e. Wednesday), Jack Fischer, senior research analyst at Refinitiv Lipper, reveals that $50.6 billion net flowed out of mutual funds and ETFs in the U.S. this week. That's the industry's first week of net inflows in nine weeks, down from $20.6 billion in net inflows last week.

Tax-exempt bond funds were the sole big category with good news this week, bringing in $728 million in net inflows, up from $804 million last week. On the flip side, taxable bond funds suffered $6.9 billion in net outflows this week, down from $7 billion in net inflows. Equity funds suffered $4.4 billion in net outflows, up from $1.5 billion. And money market funds suffered $1.1 billion in net outflows, down from $14.2 billion in net inflows.

Equity ETFs brought in $15.9 billion in net inflows this week, their 11th week in a row of net inflows, up from $7.1 billion last week. Yet conventional (i.e. non-ETF) equity funds suffered another $17.2 billion in net outflows this week; it was their 10th week of outflows in a row, up from $8.5 billion.

On the fixed income side, ETFs suffered $885 million in net outflows last week, while conventional funds suffered $3.9 billion in net outflows.
