This article draws from Morningstar Direct data on open-end mutual fund and ETF flows (excluding money market funds and funds of funds) from March 2019.

DWS' DBX Advisors took the lead last month, with estimated March net inflows of $872 million per fund. Other big March inflows winners included: Aperture Investors, $352 million per fund; Baird, $92 million per fund (up from $40 million per fund in February); Dodge & Cox, $76 million per fund (up from $323 million per fund in net outflows); and ETF Managers Trust, $69 million per fund (up from $62 million per fund).

On the flip side, last month was a rough one for AssetMark's GuidePath, which suffered an estimated $72 million per fund in net March outflows, more than any other fund firm and down from $0.9 million per fund in net February inflows. Other big March outflows sufferers included: Tweedy Browne, $34 million per fund (down from $49 million per fund); Stone Harbor, $34 million per fund (up from $5 million per fund); Primecap, $33 million per fund (up from $0.4 million per fund); and Chiron, $32 million per fund, up from $10 million per fund.

The whole mutual fund and ETF industry (excluding money market funds and funds of funds) brought in an estimated $1.1 million per fund in net March inflows, down from $1.3 million per fund in February.
