For the first month in five, investors were net redeemers of fund assets, withdrawing a close to $42 billion from the conventional funds business, according to a Lipper report released early Wednesday.

Flows from stock and mixed-equity funds dropped by nearly $20 billion, while some $43 billion moved out of money-market funds. Bond funds, on the other hand, gathered more than $21 billion in assets last month.

"For the second consecutive month, investors were net redeemers of [U.S. diversified equity, or USDE] funds in June, pulling out $21.9 billion," said Tom Roseen, head of research services for Lipper, in the recent report, entitled "Nervous Investors Redeem $41.8 Billion from the Conventional Funds Business in June."
