Both equity mutual fund (+$122 million) and equity ETF (+$449 million) investors are net buyers for the week as market volatility declines

For the fund-flows week ended November 20, 2014, the equity markets posted gains, with the S&P 500 climbing 0.57%. The market climb during the period was aided by strong results from Wal-Mart and data consistent with an improving labor market as well as broad expectations that the Federal Reserve will continue to keep interest rates near zero well into 2015. The markets were also bolstered by rising expectations surrounding the implementation of additional stimulus measures by central banks in Japan and Europe.

Fund flows are positive, despite the lackluster market; equity ETFs (+7.9 billion) see largest net inflows since February

For the fund flows week ended July 30, 2014, the news of mostly positive quarterly corporate earnings and employment reports was tempered by mixed new-housing-sales data, geopolitical uncertainty as economic sanctions were imposed upon Russia, and cautious investor sentiment about current valuation levels and the upcoming release of the GDP report on Wednesday.
