Overall, the 724 active fund firms tracked by the M* team (down M/M from 734, up Y/Y from 696) suffered an estimated $109.837 billion in net active outflows in May 2022, up M/M from $86.386 billion in April 2022 but down Y/Y from $11.451 billion in net May 2021 inflows. 266 firms gained net active inflows in May 2022, down M/M from 292 and down Y/Y from 391.
