Before getting into this month's money fund flow highlights, MFWire must offer a mea culpa. We've published articles highlighting monthly money market fund flows for some time, describing the data as covering the entirety of the U.S. money market mutual fund business. Yet we were mistakenly using data about the 10 biggest money fund families each month, without incorporating all the rest. Please pardon our long-running error.
We'll be going back and adding clarifications to past articles. And going forward, our money fund flows articles, like our long-term fund flows articles, will draw on data on all money fund firms tracked by the Morningstar team. And now, without further adieu, here are this month's highlights.
An asset manager that once was part of a banking giant took the inflows lead last month among money fund firms, as money funds inflows grew to more than double the outflows from long-term funds.
