This article draws from Morningstar Direct data on open-end mutual fund and ETF flows, excluding money-market funds and funds of funds, from May 2021. (Other asset management products, like CITs and SMAs, are also not included.)

Horizon Kinetics kept the lead last month, thanks to an estimated $176 million per fund in net May 2021 inflows, down month-over-month from $208 million per fund in April 2021. Other big May 2021 inflows winners included: newcomer Oriental Trust, $131 million per fund; River Canyon, $121 million per fund (up M/M from $58 million per fund, up year-over-year from $12 million per fund in net May 2020 outflows); Edward Jones' Bridge Builder, $97 million per fund (down M/M from $125 million per fund, down Y/Y from $500 million per fund; and Vanguard, $79 million per fund (down M/M from $106 million per fund, up Y/Y from $18 million per fund).

As of May 31, 2021, Ark led the inflows pack proportionately for 2021, thanks to an estimated $1.9 billion per fund in net year-to-date inflows. Other big YTD inflows winners included: Bridge Builder, $1.089 billion per fund; and Grayscale, $777 million per fund.

Yet on the flip side, Ark took the outflows lead last month, suffering an estimated $244 million per fund in net May 2021 outflows, down M/M from $15 million per fund in net April 2021 inflows and down Y/Y from $100 million per fund in net May 2020 inflows. Other big May 2021 outflows sufferers included: Primecap, $82 million per fund (up M/M from $33 million per fund, down Y/Y from $465 million per fund); Causeway, $43 million per fund (up M/M from $1 million per fund, down Y/Y from $68 million per fund); EMQQ, $35 million per fund (up M/M from $3 million per fund, down Y/Y from $32 million per fund in net inflows); and Atlas, $31 million per fund.
