In July, Morningstar reported that actively managed mutual funds suffered their worst 12-year period of outflows ever.
U.S focused funds saw $156 billion flow out in that period, while passively managed funds that tracked the S&P 500, Nasdaq, and Russell 1000 indices gained $150 billion of inflows.
The exodus continued in August: $14 billion flowed out of actively managed U.S. equity funds, while $5 billion flowed into index funds.
