Stock Rally Fails to Spur Big Inflows Into Mutual Funds

Individual investors keep tiptoeing back into the U.S. stock market. According to data provider Lipper, investors put $5.6 billion into U.S. stock mutual funds in the week ended Wednesday. With the stock market at an all-time high, including a 122.33-point jump by the Dow Jones Industrial Average on Thursday to its 50th record high of the year, even more money ought to be flowing into stock-oriented mutual funds, these experts say. From 2006 to 2012, investors withdrew $451 billion from stock mutual funds, but this year's inflows are smaller than the $126 billion that headed out the door last year.
