Wednesday, November 5, 2025 Long-Term MF Outflows Jump By $24.6B Industry inflows shrunk by more than 90 percent last week, thanks largely to a dramatic rise in outflows from traditional mutual funds, 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 $2.586 billion net flowed into ETFs and long-term, open-end mutual funds in the week ended October 29, 2025. (Money-market funds and funds-of-funds, as well as other asset management products like CITs and separate accounts, are not included.) That's a $24.12-billion net flows drop week-over-week from the week ended on October 22*, though it still extends the industry's inflows streak to 12 weeks. Traditional, long-term, open-end mutual funds suffered an estimated $41.432 billion in net outflows for the week ended October 29, according to the ICI folks, up by $24.577 billion W/W. Meanwhile, ETFs brought in an estimated $44.017 billion in net inflows last week, up by $455 million W/W. Fixed income dominated industry inflows yet again last week. Per ICI's data, an estimated $12.969 billion net flowed into bond funds and ETFs in the week ended October 29 (down by $1.724 billion W/W). $11.071 billion of that (down by $611 million W/W) flowed into taxable bond funds and ETFs, while $1.897 billion (down by $1.113 billion W/W) flowed into municipal bond funds and muni ETFs. On the flip side, hybrrd funds and ETF suffered an estimated $1.685 billion in net outflows for the week ended Octobe 29. That's up by $183 million W/W. Equity funds and ETFs suffered an estimated $5.033 billion in net outflows for the week ended October 29 (a $13.226-billion net flows drop W/W). Domestic equity funds and ETFs alone suffered $9.844 billion in net outflows last week (up by $8.879 billion W/W), while world equity funds and ETFs brought in $4.81 billion in net inflows (down by $4.347 billion W/W). Commodity funds (well, ETFs) suffered an estimated $6.664 billion in net outflows for the week ended October 29. That's an $11.987-billion net flows drop 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.
