On July 30, 2010, In Business, Business Advice, Business News, Energy, Finance, Media, Retail, Technology, Top Stories, UK Business, US Business, world, By Yahoo! News: Stock Markets News

The Investment Company Institute reported that overall, mutual funds saw net inflows, mostly into bond funds. Bond funds experienced inflows of more than $20 billion--up about $6 billion from May. Meanwhile, stock funds saw more outflows. The WSJ reports that investors haven't consistently put money into stock funds since the market hit its low in March 2009. Low-yielding money market funds also continued to see outflows, which brings their total outflows for the year to more than $500 billion.
