Clients withdrew cash from municipal bond mutual funds at a clip not seen since October.
Clients withdrew 0.47% of the funds' assets during the week, according to the Arcata, Calif.-based fund tracker. Among all muni mutual funds - including those that report monthly - net outflow was $954.5 million, or 0.28% of muni funds' roughly $338 billion in assets.
Because of withdrawals and investment losses, muni funds have shrunk nearly 15% so far in the fourth quarter.
