Equity ETF flows rebound

Flows into equity exchange-traded funds rebounded during the week ending January 30, attracting $6.9bn in net new money. The flows marked the first week of net inflows for equity ETFs in three weeks. The uptick in investor interest for the products supported a wider trend of net inflows into equity funds as investors' risk appetite increases. Mutual funds attracted net new money of $5.8bn during the period, the fourth consecutive week of net inflows. Over the last four weeks, mutual funds have drawn in a total of $20.7bn, according to Lipper, the largest four-week total since the week ending April 12, 2000.
