FYI: Funds in Thomson Reuters Lipper’s U.S. Diversified Equity (USDE) Funds classifications have experienced negative net flows of $10.9 billion for 2016 year to date. These results are the continuation of a long-term trend that has seen USDE Funds’ coffers shrink on an annual basis every year except one since the global financial crisis of 2008. USDE Funds managed to record a slim net inflow of $9.3 billion for 2013 to break up the string of negative results. Overall, the USDE Funds group has had net outflows of roughly $661 billion since 2008.
