Thomson Reuters Lipper’s fund macro-groups (including both mutual funds and exchange-traded funds [ETFs]) had net inflows of $7.6 billion for the fund-flows week ended Wednesday, May 17. Taxable bond funds (+$4.4 billion) and money market funds (+$4.1 billion) accounted for the lion’s share of the positive flows, while municipal bond funds contributed $427 million of net new money. Equity funds (-$1.2 billion) were the only fund macro-group that suffered net outflows for the week.
