Funds investing primarily in U.S. stocks had outflows of $700 million during the week ending May 12, estimates Trim Tabs director of research Carl Wittnebert, after taking in $600 million in new money the prior week. "With recent developments in the equity and bond markets, it is no surprise that investors are liquidating some holdings," Wittnebert said. "What surprises me is that they aren’t liquidating more." Meanwhile, international stock funds had inflows of $100 million, adding to the prior week’s inflows of $400 million. Bond funds suffered outflows of $3.6 billion, on top of the $1.1 billion in outflows the week before.
