Investors Pull $56B from Funds

Investors Pull $56B from Funds

The Investment Company Institute says mutual funds had their worst redemptions since 2008. Investors pulled $56.2B from funds. While investors were pulling out of mutual funds, they were putting money into ETFs to the tune of $25.2B.

Despite yesterday's record gain, stocks have been on a downward spiral on fears of a slowing global economy and President Donald Trump’s criticism of Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell. The S&P 500 index lost 5.4 percent in the week ended Dec. 19.

Industry description

The investment seeks capital appreciation, which may occasionally be short term; income is a secondary consideration. The fund invests primarily in equity securities of U.S. and foreign companies that the investment manager believes are available at market prices less than their value based on certain recognized or objective criteria. It also invests in merger arbitrage securities and the debt and equity of distressed companies. The fund may invest a significant portion of its assets in foreign securities and participations in foreign government debt.

New Fortress Energy (NFE): Analyzing the Path to an +45% Gain Toward $8
