Domestic equity funds saw $2.91 billion walk out the door, and this was only partially offset by the $569 million of new money added to foreign stock funds.

Hybrid funds, which can invest in stocks and bonds, took in $356 million for the week, on top of the $1.01 billion added the previous week.

Investors added $5.31 billion to bond funds, down from $6.48 billion the previous week. The bulk of new money, or $4.76 million, went into taxable bond funds, while $545 million went into municipal bond funds.
