Other asset management products, like collective trusts and separate accounts, are also not included. Long-term mutual funds and ETFs brought in a combined $135.95 billion in net inflows in January 2026, down by $13.283 billion month-over-month from December 2025 but up by $96.03 billion year-over-year from January 2025. As of January 31, 2026, per M*'s data, 774 fund firms (up by two M/M, down by 26 Y/Y) had: That translates into an average of $175.645 million in net January 2026 inflows per fund firm and $3.119 million in inflows per fund. At the end of the month, the average fund firm had 56.31 funds and ETFs, with $47.118 billion in combined AUM. 395 fund firms brought in net inflows in January 2026. The median firm brought in negligible inflows and had 5 funds with about $366 million in AUM. For the trailing twelve months ending on January 31, 2026, ETFs and long-term mutual funds brought in an estimated $864.947 billion in net inflows. That's equivalent to an average of $1.118 billion in net TTM inflows per firm and $19.847 million in net TTM inflows per fund. Yet the median firm suffered negligible TTM outflows, and 384 firms in total netted TTM inflows. Printed from: MFWire.com/story.asp?s=72122 Copyright 2026, InvestmentWires, Inc. All Rights Reserved |
