Wednesday, December 17, 2025 A $3B Stock Fund Rebound Pushes Industry Inflows Up Flows into stock funds climbed last week, more than making up for dips in bond and commodity fund flows, according to the latest data from the folks at a mutual fund industry trade group. Today, the Investment Company Institute (ICI) team reported that an estimated $13.402 billion net flowed into ETFs and long-term, open-end mutual funds in the week ended December 10, 2025. (Money-market funds and funds-of-funds, as well as non-'40-Act asset management products like CITs and separate accounts, are not included.) That's a $2.199-billion net flows jump week-over-week from the week ended on December 3*, and it extends the industry's inflows streak to 18 weeks and counting. Traditional, long-term, open-end mutual funds suffered an estimated $30.531 billion in net outflows for the week ended December 10, according to the ICI folks, up by $11.352 billion W/W. Meanwhile, ETFs brought in an estimated $43.573 billion in net inflows, up by $13.191 billion W/W. Fixed income led industry inflows yet again last week. Per ICI's data, an estimated $9.984 billion net flowed into bond funds and ETFs in the week ended December 10 (down by $540 million W/W). $8.606 billion of that (down by $1.264 billion W/W) flowed into taxable bond funds and ETFs, while $1.379 billion (up by $725 million W/W) flowed into municipal bond funds and muni ETFs. Equity funds and ETFs brought in an estimated $3.204 billion in net inflows in the week ended December 10 (up by $3.037 billion W/W). Domestic equity funds and ETFs brought in an estimated $550 million in net inflows (up by $3.883 billion W/W), while world equity funds and ETFs brought in an estimated $2.654 billion in net inflows (down by $847 million W/W). Commodity funds (well, ETFs) brought in an estimated $1.539 billion in net inflows in the week ended December 10. That's down by $974 million W/W. On the flip side, hybrid funds and ETFs suffered an estimated $1.685 billion in net outflows last week. That's down by $317 million W/W. *Editor's Note: The ICI folks note that they also regularly revise the past weeks' flows data, "because of adjustments, reclassifications, and changes in the number of funds reporting." Thus, the week-to-week flows changes may not quite line up perfectly with the numbers in MFWire's coverage of prior weeks' flows.
