Investors put record amounts into U.S.-listed equity mutual funds and exchange-traded funds in 2013 while pulling record amounts from U.S.-listed bond funds, according to data released by TrimTabs Investment Research on Tuesday. The record flows serve as one sign that investors are rotating their holdings from bond funds into stock funds, according to David Santschi, chief executive officer of TrimTabs. Investors put a net $352 billion into equity funds, eclipsing the previous record set in 2000. Meanwhile, bond funds saw a net outflow of $86 billion in 2013, beating the previous record set in 2013.
