Overview: The net inflow to equity funds slowed during 2001 but remained positive. Moreover, shareholder reaction to the September attacks and the subsequent market downturn was muted. Indeed, stronger demand for bond, hybrid, and money market funds made up for the weaker equity fund flows, and the mutual fund industry received a record $504 billion in net new cash during the year. This inflow offset the decline in stock prices, and net assets of mutual funds ended the year at $6.970 trillion, virtually unchanged from a year earlier. This issue examines these and other mutual fund developments in 2001. .
