Bond Funds Continue to Attract Investors |
The Street - Sept. 21, 2011 - By Michael Baron
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- The rush out of equities continued last week as long-term mutual funds investing in stocks saw outflows of $1.99 billion, according to data released Wednesday by the Investment Company Institute.
Funds concentrating on U.S. stocks were the problem, enduring outflows of $2.66 billion, which was offset a bit by inflows of $666 million into international equity funds.
Bond funds built on the previous week's momentum, reeling in a total of $3.85 billion with $3.24 billion flowing into funds investing in taxable bonds and the remainder landing in municipal vehicles.
Overall, for the week ended Sept. 14, ICI said long-term mutual funds enjoyed inflows of $2.16 billion, down from the previous week's haul of $7.31 billion but still the second-best performance from among the previous five weeks.
Hybrid funds, able to invest in both stocks and fixed-income securities, didn't attract much interest with inflows falling to $267 million from $1.74 billion in the week ended Sept. 7.
ICI said its fund-flow estimates "are derived from data collected covering more than 95 percent of industry assets and are adjusted to represent industry totals."
Stocks were mixed in late trades on Wednesday after the Federal Reserve did the expected and announced plans to buy $400 billion in long-term bonds while decreasing its short-term debt holdings.
The 10-year bond rose 18/32 following the news, pushing the yield -- already at 60-year lows -- down to 1.88%.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 1.5% so far in 2011 ahead of Wednesday's session, while the S&P 500 has decreased 3%.
