Thomson Reuters Lipper’s fund macro-groups (including both mutual funds and ETFs) took in $32.0 billion of net new money for the fund-flows week ended Wednesday, August 9. This represented the largest weekly net inflows of the year, outdistancing the $24.0 billion of net inflows for the fund-flows week ended April 26. Money market funds (+$30.9 billion) paced the charge with their largest weekly net inflows of the year, while taxable bond funds (+$3.3 billion) and municipal bonds funds (+$631 million) also contributed to the total net inflows. Equity funds (-$2.8 billion) saw money leave their coffers for a fourth straight week.
Pat Keon, a Thomson Reuters Lipper Senior Research Analyst, speaks to the highlights in this week's video.
