ICI'​s latest "Combined Estimated Long-​Term Fund Flows and ETF Net Issuance" shows big outflows in the latest week, their first decline in months and biggest in over a year. They write, "Total estimated outflows from long-​term mutual funds and exchange-​traded funds (​ETFs) were $​11.​88 billion for the week ended February 14, 2018, the Investment Company Institute reported today. Estimated mutual fund outflows were $​6.​46 billion while estimated negative net issuance for ETFs was $​5.​42 billion. Reports of long-​term flow estimates and ETF net issuance are available on the ICI website." The ICI explains, "Bond funds had estimated outflows of $​12.​11 billion for the week, compared to estimated inflows of $​7.​30 billion during the previous week. Taxable bond funds saw estimated outflows of $​11.​47 billion, and municipal bond funds had estimated outflows of $​640 million."
