Stock Funds Drive a $7.4B Flows Drop


Industry inflows retreated a bit last week, thanks largely to a reversal in domestic stock 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 $18.605 billion net flowed into ETFs and long-term, open-end mutual funds in the week ended November 12, 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 $7.418-billion net flows drop week-over-week from the week ended on November 5*, but it still extends the industry's inflows streak to 14 weeks.

Traditional, long-term, open-end mutual funds suffered an estimated $22.865 billion in net outflows for the week ended November 12, according to the ICI folks, up by $5.093 billion W/W. Meanwhile, ETFs brought in an estimated $41.471 billion in net inflows last week, down by $2.324 billion W/W.

Fixed income led industry inflows yet again last week. Per ICI's data, an estimated $15.797 billion net flowsed into bond funds and ETFs in the week ended November 12 (up by $591 million W/W). $14.103 billion of that (up by $531 million W/W) flowed into taxable bond funds and ETFs, while $1.694 billion (up by $60 million W/W) flowed into municipal bond funds and muni ETFs.

Equity funds and ETFs brought in an estimated $3.258 billion in net inflows last week (down by $10.301 billion W/W). Domestic equity funds and ETFs suffered $812 million in net outflows (an $8.157-billion net flows drop W/W), while world equity funds and ETFs brought in $4.07 billion in net inflows (down by $2.145 billion W/W).

Commodity funds (well, ETFs) brought in an estimated $1.214 billion in net inflows for the week ended November 12. That's up by $1.186 billion W/W.

On the flip side, hybrid funds and ETFs suffered an estimated $1.664 billion in net outflows last week. That's down by $1.105 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.
