September 27, 2018--For the first week in three investors were net purchasers of fund assets (including those of conventional funds and ETFs), injecting a net $15.5 billion for Lipper's fund-flows week ended September 26, 2018. However, fund investors padded the coffers of only money market funds (+$16.6 billion) for the week while being net redeemers of equity funds (-$582 million), municipal bond funds (-$385 million), and taxable fixed income funds (-$177 million).
