Wednesday, December 10, 2025 Commodity Fund Flows Spike Up By $2.2B Flows into commodity funds spiked last week, and bond fund flows climbed a bit, too, 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 $11.084 billion net flowed into ETFs and long-term, open-end mutual funds in the week ended December 3, 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 $3.776-billion net flows jump week-over-week from the six days ended on November 25*, and it extends the industry's inflows streak to 17 weeks and counting. Traditional, long-term, open-end mutual funds suffered an estimated $19.182 billion in net outflows for the week ended December 3, according to the ICI folks, down by $3.949 billion W/W. Meanwhile, ETFs brought in an estimated $30.266 billion in net inflows, down by $173 million W/W. Fixed income led industry inflows yet again last week. Per ICI's data, an estimated $10.434 billion net flowed into bond funds and ETFs in the week ended December 3 (up by $1.374 billion W/W). $9.789 billion of that (up by $2.035 billion W/W) flowed into taxable bond funds and ETFs, while $645 million (down by $661 million W/W) flowed into municipal bond funds and muni ETFs. Commodity funds (well, ETFs) brought in $2.513 billion in net inflows in the week ended December 3. That's up by $2.163 billion W/W. Equity funds and ETFs brought in an estimated $138 million in net inflows in the week ended December 3 (up by $4 million W/W). Domestic equity funds and ETFs suffered an estimated $3.359 billion in net flows (up by $310 million W/W), but world equity funds brought in $3.498 billion in net inflows (up by $314 million W/W). On the flip side, hybrid funds and ETFs suffered an estimated $2.002 billion in net outflows last week. That's down by $234 million 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.
