Lipper Weekly U.S. Fund Flows Video Series - November 9, 2011

Published on 11 Nov 2011, by Matthew Lemieux
Matthew Lemieux reviews Lipper's U.S. weekly fund flows for the week ended November 9, 2011. Despite a modest rise in the markets over the first four days of the week, widening spreads on Italian debt helped push investors to the door on Wednesday. Continued uncertainty over the fate of the Eurozone was exacerbated as two of the troubled nations, Greece and Italy, looked to introduce new governments. Despite this news it looked as investors were still willing to allocate new cash to the fund industry. Overall, the conventional mutual fund business attracted net inflows of $20.8 billion, with equity funds reporting net outflows of $519 million. Taxable bond funds (+$3.6 billion) posted their 5th consecutive week of inflows as Corporate Investment Grade funds attracted the most attention with $1.3 billion in net new assets. Municipal bond funds continued to be attractive with net inflows of $733 million, their largest weekly inflows since September of 2010. Money market funds benefited from the volatile market adding some $17.0 billion to their coffers.

Matthew Lemieux reviews Lipper's U.S. weekly fund flows for the week ended October 26, 2011. With three consecutive weeks of positive market gains on the horizon and optimistic news out of the Eurozone, investors injected roughly $4.2 billion into mutual funds for the week ending October 26th 2011. The big news was on the fixed income side as High Yield Funds (+$3.6 billion) experienced their largest weekly net inflows since Lipper began tracking them in 1992. Tightening spreads and upward pressure in the equity markets helped push investors back into risk through the junk based products. Equity funds (+$3.0 billion) also reported net inflows for the week as a $3.7 billion push into ETFs helped overcome the negative sentiment on the traditional fund side—mutual funds reported net redemptions of $742 million for the week. Municipal bond funds posted their third consecutive week of inflows with $310 million as investors pulled a net $1.1 billion from money market funds.

Matthew Lemieux reviews Lipper's U.S. weekly fund flows for the week ended October 5, 2011. As the third quarter ended investors took tally of how bad things actually were. The S&P 500 ended the three-month span with negative returns of 14.33 percent, the worst quarter of performance since the financial crisis took hold in Q4 2008. Although the flows week ended on a positive note investors continued to move out of risk assets. For the week the conventional mutual fund business posted inflows of $3.6 billion with most of any positive asset numbers going to money market funds (+6.2 billion). Equity mutual funds posted their fourth consecutive week of outflows with $638 million in net sales. Taxable bond funds also could not avoid investor’s concerns as the group posted their largest week of outflows, at $1.8 billion, since August 17th of this year. Municipal Bond funds broke their four week winning streak as they posted net outflows of $153 million, possibly attributed to bailout concerns circulating over the Franco-Belgium bank Dexia.

Tom Roseen reviews Lipper's U.S. weekly fund flows for the week ended August 31, 2011.

Matthew Lemieux reviews Lipper's U.S. weekly fund flows for the week ended August 24, 2011. After what seemed to be a stable week in the U.S. equity markets, a disastrous report from the Philadelphia Fed supported increasing concerns over the possibility of a double-dip. Looking at weekly mutual fund flow numbers we see that investor sentiment was relatively subdued. Equity mutual funds—coming off their previous week of inflows—posted net redemptions of roughly $436 million. Taxable Bond funds were able to break their four week losing streak as the group posted net inflows of $967 million. Municipals continued their four-week run of outflows—although at a slower pace—as the category pushed out $160 million for the week. Money markets also gave back as the group reported net outflows of $5.8 billion.

Jeff Tjornehoj reviews Lipper's U.S. weekly fund flows for the week ended August 17, 2011. Equity mutual fund investors were steadfast this week and actually added $1.7 billion to their accounts, busting a four-week string of outflows. After equity fund assets were pummeled over 11% the previous week, this week’s bounce-back of 6% calmed enough nerves to draw the more adventurous ones back into the race. Domestic funds saw their first week of inflows in the last five as $1.3 billion seeped in while non-domestic equity funds had a scant $400 million added when all was said and done. Taxable bond funds had $1.2 billion in outflows for their third week of outflows as investors pulled about $1.4 billion from their core fixed income holdings; High Yield funds had a slight outflow of $300 million after the HY market pulled back significantly the week before. Muni funds were cursed with a fourth week of outflows as a quarter-billion was drained away, which is an improvement over last week’s $600 million outflow. Money market funds took in a net $13.9 billion this week following last week’s $47.5 billion inflow. These funds have had $205 billion in outflows this year and could eclipse last year’s $441 billion.
