Nine of the ten biggest money fund firms tracked by the M* team brought in net inflows last month, up from five in October 2021 and up from three in November 2020. Goldman Sachs took the lead last month, thanks to an estimated $17.547 billion in net money market mutual fund inflows in November 2021, up month-over-month from $4.473 billion in net outflows in October 2021 but down year-over-year from $21.596 billion in November 2020.
