U.S. investors pushed equity funds to their fifth consecutive quarter of plus-side performance in Q2 2021 as they focused on the reopening of global economies, a commitment by the Federal Reserve Board to keep its easy money policy intact, and a goldilocks U.S. nonfarm payrolls report for May. For Q2 2021, the average equity fund posted a 6.36% return, with Lipper’s Commodities Funds macro-classification (+11.99%) outpacing the other six major equity groups for the first quarter in 20.
For the quarter, 102 of Lipper’s 104 equity and mixed-assets fund classifications posted positive returns. In total, 97% of all individual equity and mixed-assets funds posted plus-side returns for the quarter.
In this segment, I highlight the second quarter and June 2021 performance results for equity mutual funds and ETFs.
