Morningstar DirectSM U.S. Asset Flows Update

Taxable Bond and International Equity Receive Highest Flows in February The taxable bond Morningstar category group saw total estimated flows of approximately $29 billion in February, the largest single month of inflows since January 2013. The Federal Reserve started signaling that interest rates will rise this year, so last month’s heavy investment in bond funds was a little surprising. But the largest flowing bond category was high yield, which tends to do well in a rising interest-rate environment. On the international-equity front, both developed and emerging markets had a strong month. The European Central Bank’s quantitative easing program has reduced bond yields and helped to fuel a stock market rally in Europe. This, along with improving economic data, an agreement to extend Greece’s aid program, and an allayment of fears over Russia and Ukraine were the likely reasons for the strong flows. In the United States, a slew of positive economic indicators drove equity markets up, with the S&P 500 gaining 6% in February. As expected, this rally renewed investor confidence in stocks, but once again, passively managed funds reaped all the rewards. In fact, this is true not only for U.S. equity funds but for international-equity funds as well.

Exhibit 1 displays the flows for the high-yield and intermediate-bond categories along movements in interest rates. High-yield bonds are less sensitive to changes in interest rates. In a rising rate environment, high-yield bonds would be expected to outperform many other fixed-income categories. Based on this reasoning, one would also expect high-yield flows to increase when interest rates are anticipated to rise, and, conversely, traditional bond flows to increase when interest rates are anticipated to fall. However, as Exhibit 1 illustrates, this pattern does not always hold, and flows behave more erratically than that. In June 2013, when rates were clearly on the rise, significant outflows occurred for both high-yield and intermediate-term bond funds. And now, both of these categories received strong inflows. It may be that uncertainty over when rates are going to rise is keeping investors confused.

Exhibit 4. International Equity: Active Versus Passive Fund Flows

High-Yield-Bond Inflows High; Utilities and Technology Weak On the fixed-income side, uncertainty over when the Federal Reserve will finally decide to raise rates has kept investors divided between high-yield and intermediate-term bond funds. On the equity side, large-blend, foreign large-blend, and Europe-stock funds reflected increased optimism over potential global growth prospects in general, and over the eurozone's quantitative easing strategy in particular. Among the lagging categories, utilities had the largest outflow in February. The nature of their operations requires utilities companies to maintain a significant infrastructure, which in turn causes these companies to acquire large amounts of debt. Because of this, their performance is sensitive to interest rates, and they tend to perform poorly when interest rates rise. Investors seem to have anticipated this by taking their money out of these sector funds in February. The outflows for technology funds were somewhat surprising, given strong performance and stellar earnings reports from the big tech companies.

The Top 10 U.S. Fund Families monthly snapshot has by now become a sort of déjà vu that can probably be summarized in three sentences. Vanguard is doing great. PIMCO is really struggling. Everybody else is doing all right. Vanguard not only continued to dominate flows on the passive side but took the lead in February on the active side as well. BlackRock/iShares provided some healthy competition in the passive space, being the only company with flows that remotely approach Vanguard’s levels. On the active side, J.P. Morgan was still the top-receiving firm in terms of one-year flows, owing to its advisor-sold active funds. In the most recent press release, Vanguard announced the addition of two new members to its senior leadership team, reporting directly to CEO Bill McNabb: Karin A. Risi, principal, Vanguard Advice Services group, and Thomas M. Rampulla, Managing Director-Vanguard Europe. Mike Miller, who has been a kind of man-behind-the-CEO at Vanguard for years, is now retiring. His position as managing director of Vanguard’s planning and development division will be taken by Chris D. McIsaac. It will be interesting to see whether new developments and strategies will unfold under this new leadership. It Never Ends: PIMCO Down a Third of December 2013 Assets February was not a kind month to fixed-income funds, in general, but the uninterrupted streak of outflows from PIMCO Total Return PTTRX was staggering. PIMCO Total Return posted a negative 0.7% return this past month, better than the negative 0.9% reported by its benchmark, the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. The fund's return from Sept. 27, 2014 (a day after Bill Gross' departure) to Feb. 28, 2015, was 3.3%, which is still 0.3% above the return of the Aggregate Index. Despite above-average returns, the fund still experienced an $8.9 billion outflow in February. Another month of redemptions brought PIMCO’s total losses to $174.9 billion since January 2014, a 33% decrease in assets. Outflows from PIMCO Total Return alone amounted to $99.4 billion in the space of six months. Flows ($ Bil) Sep Oct Nov Dec Jan Feb Total

PIMCO Total Return (17.9) (32.3) (9.7) (18.1) (12.5) (8.9) (99.4)

PIMCO (26.4) (49.4) (12.8) (27.2) (14.5) (10.2) (140.4)

At this point, the longer-term monthly outflows seem to have almost nothing to do with performance and almost everything to do with a phenomenon I would call, to borrow a term from physics, investor inertia. It’s as if the momentum of past redemptions keeps propelling investors forward in the same direction, irrespective of other forces such as performance, quality of management, or overall reputation of the firm. As the next few months unfold, it will be interesting to see just how far investors can let inertia carry them.

After an outflow in January, Janus, Bill Gross’ new home, received a $400 million inflow in February. Gross' new fund, Janus Global Unconstrained Bond JUCAX, actually lost $18.5 million. It can be interesting to look beyond the top 10 fund families in terms of assets and investigate how some of the relatively smaller firms grew during the past year. Outflows from PIMCO benefited other funds in the intermediate-term bond category. TCW has been enjoying consistent inflows through its Gold-rated Metropolitan West Total Return Bond MWTIX, and Gold-rated Dodge & Cox Income DODIX attracted significant amounts of investor money for Dodge & Cox. Baird also attracted inflows on the fixed-income side, predominantly through Baird Core Plus Bond BCOIX and Baird Aggregate Bond BAGIX. Schwab enjoyed a healthy growth rate from its exchange-traded fund business, with Schwab International Equity ETF SCHF receiving the highest inflows.

PIMCO Total Return once again was the leader in terms of outflows, followed by PIMCO Low Duration PTLDX. MainStay Marketfield MFLDX, an alternatives fund, has been showing up on the bottom-flowing list on and off in the past year because of poor performance relative to its long-short equity category.

iShares Short Treasury Bond 1,908 2,812 5,436 2,624 On the active side, Gold-rated Metropolitan West Total Return Bond and Gold-rated Dodge & Cox Income landed in the top five for the fifth consecutive month. These two funds continue to be the new investor favorites in the intermediate-term bond category. DoubleLine Total Return Bond Fund DBLTX is another noteworthy contender in this category, especially as its manager Jeffrey Gundlach just announced the creation of the SPDR DoubleLine Total Return Tactical ETF TOTL on Feb. 24. The actively managed ETF is a collaboration between DoubleLine Capital and established ETF provider State Street Global Advisors, and it may pose a challenge to PIMCO Total Return Active ETF BOND. On the passive side, the two top-flowing funds were Vanguard funds, one on the equity side and one on the fixed-income side. WisdomTree Europe Hedged Equity HEDJ was once again on the list in February, after increasing its assets by 50% in January. Investors appeared interested in Europe because of potential opportunities created by the new quantitative easing program, but they're also concerned about the declining euro. In this case, an ETF like HEDJ, which hedges currency risk, was the vehicle of choice.

Note: The figures in this report were compiled on March 10, 2015, and reflect only the funds that had reported net assets by that date. The figures in both the commentary and the extended tables are survivorship-bias-free. Also note that this report includes both mutual funds and exchange-traded funds, while past commentaries excluded ETFs. The decision to include ETFs and to split some of the data tables into active and passive groups was based on the fact that ETFs now account for a significant share of assets and flows. In addition, a large share of the flows to mutual funds during the past several years have gone to passive investments, often within retirement savings accounts. These flows may not be completely representative of incremental investment decisions. Important methodology note: Morningstar computes flows using the approach that is standard in the industry: Estimated net flow is the change in assets not explained by the performance of the fund. Our method assumes that flows occur uniformly over the course of the month. Adjustments for mergers are performed automatically. When liquidated funds are included, the final assets of the fund are counted as outflows. Reinvested dividends are not counted as inflows. We use fund-level reinvestment rates to improve accuracy in this respect. We make ad hoc adjustments for unusual corporate actions such as reverse share splits, and we overwrite our estimates with actual flows if managers are willing to provide the data to us.
