Municipal mutual funds reported $82.1 million of net inflows in the week ended Feb. 12, Lipper FMI said Thursday.

The inflows compared with the $227.3 million of net outflows the funds posted in the week ended Feb. 5, which ended a three-week spate of inflows since the start of the year.

Long-term municipal bond funds that report their flows weekly gained $93.74 million, versus outflows of $277.57 the week before, while high-yield municipal bond funds said they had $161.18 million of inflows, up from $96.06 million of inflows last week.
