Over the past 13 weeks through the week of August 28, the Investment Company Institute estimates that bond funds had net cash outflows totaling $438 billion at an annual rate. Over the same period, equity funds had net cash inflows of $92 billion at an annual rate. I wouldn’t describe that as a “Great Rotation” just yet, but it could be the start of a big swing by retail investors into equities.
Monthly data show that equity funds plus equity ETFs had cumulative net inflows of $230 billion over the past 12 months through July, the best pace since December 2007. Over this period, equity ETF net inflows were a record $168 billion.
