Lipper U.S. FFIR Summary: Bond Funds Suffer Second Consecutive Month of Outflows, While Equity Funds Gather Assets for July

At the beginning of July investors cheered a better-than-expected nonfarm payrolls report that showed the economy adding 195,000 jobs for June, sending the market higher and tanking Treasury prices. But July wasn’t smooth sailing for equities. Interest-related issues came under fire on continued concerns of Federal Reserve “tapering,” and oil prices jumped after the military ousted Egypt’s president from office. Mixed earnings and economic news put a cap on market returns toward month-end. Investors kept an eye on the global market, with a special focus on signs of China’s slowing factory output, Egypt’s growing unrest (and the impact on oil

Lipper Fund Flows: Investors Pump $6.7 Billion into Mutual Funds as Market Dips

The week ended Wednesday, August 14 saw some optimistic economic indicators amid continuing nervousness regarding the Fed’s bond-buying program. Mutual fund investors were net purchasers, injecting a net $6.7 billion for the week, but municipal bond funds remained out of favor.

During the month investors turned their focus to second quarter earnings reports after being somewhat placated by Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke’s assurances that despite all the talk of “tapering,”

LIPPER FUND FLOWS: INVESTORS FAVOR EQUITY MUTUAL FUNDS FOR FIFTH STRAIGHT WEEK

During the week ended Wednesday, July 31, investors cheered better-than-expected durable goods orders, an increase in consumer sentiment, and reports of rising residential real estate prices, pushing stock market indexes higher for the month. Equity mutual funds benefited, while bond funds and money market funds remained out of favor. The Dow Jones Industrial Average ended July with its eighth monthly plus-side performance (out of nine) and the NASDAQ composite hit its best monthly return since January 2012. It wasn’t all roses however — investors became a little more cautious at mid-week and questioned the staying power of a rally that
