The exodus continues with Equity and Bond Funds

mark's picture

Attached is Lipper's latest mutual fund flows charts for the week ended 1/4/19.

Equity and bond funds are showing heavy outflows once again, while money market funds are still showing heavy inflows.

Looks like many investors are "packing their bags and leaving town."  I would expect mutual funds will continue to liquidate positions in the coming weeks to accommodate these flows.  The likely effect with be downward pressure on the market averages.

These are the times to keep emotions in check.  Either "hold your cards" or add to positions.  When people run for the doors, it can be a great time to pick up bargains.

Stay tuned!
