December capped a wild year in markets and fund flows. Equities sold off sharply in 2020 s first quarter, but the S&P 500 rallied to close at a record high on Dec. 31. Actions by the Federal Reserve midyear helped shore up bond markets. Amid the upheaval, investors appeared to rebalance away from equities and toward bonds in record numbers, often eschewing open-end mutual funds in favor of exchange-traded funds.
All told, long-term mutual funds and ETFs collected more than $86 billion in December. For the year, long-term funds gathered $212 billion, though that was well below the $356 billion average annual inflow from 2010 through 2019.
