Investors committed another $151 billion to all US Equity, Money Market and Bond Funds during the second week of November as they adjusted their expectations in light of the Nov. 5 election.

Net flows during the week ending Nov. 6 to all US Equity, Bond and Money Market Funds totaled $138 billion, with some $25 billion of that total arriving the day after Republican Donald Trump won his second term as president of the United States.
