Stock Fund Flows Rebound By $18B


Industry inflows increased more than nine-fold last week, thanks largely to a dramatic reversal in equity fund flows, according to the latest data from the folks at a mutual fund industry trade group.

Today, the Investment Company Institute (ICI) team reports that an estimated $25.992 billion net flowed into ETFs and long-term, open-end mutual funds in the week ended November 5, 2025. (Money-market funds and funds-of-funds, as well as non-'40-Act asset management products like CITs and separate accounts, are not included.) That's a $23.15-billion net flows rise week-over-week from the week ended on October 29*, and it extends the industry's inflows streak to 13 weeks.

Traditional long-term, open-end mutual funds suffered an estimated $17.771 billion in net outflows for the week ended November 5, according to the ICI folks, down by $23.789 billion W/W. Meanwhile, ETFs brought in an estimated $43.763 billion in net inflows last week, down by $640 million W/W.

Fixed income led industry inflows yet again last week. Per ICI's data, an estimated $15.185 billion net flowed into bond funds and ETFs in the week ended November 5 (up by $2.217 billion W/W). $13.55 billion of that (up by $2.479 billion W/W) flowed into taxable bond funds and ETFs, while $1.634 billion (down by $263 million W/W) flowed into municipal bond funds and muni ETFs.

Equity funds and ETFs brought in an estimated $13.549 billion in net inflows last week (an $18.325-billion increase W/W). Domestic equity funds and ETFs alone brought in $7.334 billion in net inflows (up by $16.919 billion W/W), while world equity funds and ETFs brought in $6.215 billion (up by $1.406 billion W/W).

Commodity funds (well, ETFs) brought in an estimated $28 million in net inflows for the week ended November. That's up by $3.692 billion W/W.

On the flip side, hybrid funds and ETFs suffered an estimated $2.769 billion in net outflows last week. That's up by $1.084 billion W/W.

*Editor's Note: The ICI folks note that they also regularly revise the past weeks' flows data, "because of adjustments, reclassifications, and changes in the number of funds reporting." Thus, the week-to-week flows changes may not quite line up perfectly with the numbers in MFWire's coverage of prior weeks' flows.
