Fund Flows Turn Positive in May: Morningstar Report
SHARE

The month of May 2025 saw a positive shift in fund flows, with U.S. open-end funds and exchange-traded funds attracting $56 billion in new investments. This turnaround came after a turbulent period sparked by President Donald Trump’s tariff announcements, as reported by Morningstar.

Bond investments were the preferred choice for investors during this uncertain economic climate, with fixed-income funds garnering $54 billion in May. Municipal debt funds also saw strong demand, bringing in $7 billion for the month. This trend highlights how investors seek both growth and protection in their portfolios during times of market volatility.

Despite gains in the equity market, U.S. equity funds experienced outflows of $17 billion, with money flowing out of almost every domestic equity category. On the other hand, international stock funds proved to be more popular, drawing close to $7 billion as investors looked beyond U.S. borders.

Investors showed a growing interest in funds using derivative strategies, with $6 billion in new investments. These products, which often employ covered-call approaches, provided downside protection as investors navigated market uncertainties.

Fund-company performance varied based on their key products, with Invesco Ltd., The Vanguard Group, and Fidelity Investments leading in U.S. equity inflows, while iShares, American Funds, and T. Rowe Price Group led in outflows.

Commodity investments reversed course in May after three months of heavy buying, with the two largest gold funds, SPDR Gold Shares (GLD) and iShares Gold Trust (IAU), losing a combined $1.8 billion as precious metals cooled off.

Alternative investments continued their momentum, with $7.1 billion in May flows contributing to $46.2 billion over the past year. Cryptocurrency products, particularly the iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT), dominated this space with 85% of category inflows over 12 months.

Overall, the positive fund flows in May reflect investors’ shifting preferences amid market uncertainties, as they seek to diversify their portfolios and capitalize on opportunities in different asset classes. This data provides valuable insights for investors and fund managers looking to navigate the ever-changing landscape of the financial markets.
