Wednesday, January 14, 2026 Outflows Return, Thanks to a $61B U.S. Stock Fund Reversal Industry outflows returned last week, after a two-week inflows streak, driven by resurging mutual fund outflows and plunging ETF inflows, according to the latest data from the folks at a mutual fund industry trade group. Today, the Investment Company Institute (ICI) team reports that an estimated $7.16 billion net flowed out of ETFs and long-term, open-end mutual funds in the week ended January 7, 2026. (Money-market funds and funds of funds, as well as non-'40-Act asset management products like collective trusts and separate accounts, are not included.) That's down by $55.229 billion week-over-week from the week ended on December 30*. Traditional, long-term, open-end mutual funds suffered an estimated $23.345 billion in net outflows in the ended January 7, according to the ICI folks, up by $18.063 billion W/W. Meanwhile, ETFs brought in an estimated $16.185 billion in net inflows, down by $37.166 billion W/W. Fixed income regained its longstanding lead last week. Per ICI's data, bond funds and ETFs brought in an estimated $24.957 billion in net inflows for the week ended January 7 (up by $8.989 billion W/W). $22.273 billion of that (up by $8.092 billion W/W) flowed into taxable bond funds and ETFs, while $2.684 billion (up by $897 million W/W) flowed into municipal bond funds and muni ETFs. On the flip side, hybrid funds and ETFs suffered an estimated $132 million in net outflows for the week ended January 7. That's down by $912 million W/W. Commodity funds (well, ETFs) suffered an estimated $1.041 billion in net outflows for the week ended January 7. That's a $2.2-billion net flows drop W/W. Per ICI's data, an estimated $30.944 billion net flowed out of stock funds and ETFs in the week ended January 7 (a $62.93-billion net flows drop W/W). $32.023 billion (a $61.001-billion net flows drop W/W) flowed out of domestic equity funds and ETFs, while $1.079 billion (down by $1.929 billion W/W) flowed into world equity funds and ETFs. *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.
