Thomson Reuters Lipper’s fund macro-groups (including both mutual funds and ETFs) experienced net-negative flows of $1.0 billion for the fund-flows week ended Wednesday, October 4. The overall weekly net outflows were attributable mostly to money market funds (-$3.9 billion), but equity funds (-$1.0 billion) and municipal bond funds (-$140 million) also contributed to the outflows. Taxable bond funds (+$4.0 billion) were the only fund macro-group taking in net new money for the week, marking their thirteenth consecutive week of net-positive flows.
Pat Keon, Thomson Reuters Lipper Senior Research Analyst, speaks to the highlights in this week's video.
