1 Morningstar Direct SM Asset Flows Commentary: United States Morningstar Research 15 March 2017 Data through Feb. 28, 2017 U.S. Mutual Funds and Exchange- Traded Products Alina Lamy Senior Analyst Quantitative Research Bonds Still in Favor, With U.S. Equity Close Behind Taxable-bond funds remained the undisputed favorites in February, attracting $35.5 billion in estimated net flows. U.S. equity funds, however, received double the flows they had taken in the previous month. Even more interesting, the overall increase did not come from expanding flows on the passive side, as one might expect. Instead, the increase came from a reduction in outflows on the active side. Active U.S. equity funds only lost $8.9 billion in February compared with $20.8 billion in January. (It only speaks to the dire situation of actively managed U.S. equity that a reduction in outflows sounds like such joyful news.) The increased confidence in stocks was propelled by another solid month for the S&P 500, which returned 4.0%. The employment report for February exceeded expectations, and consumer confidence remained high. The MSCI EAFE Index rose 1.4% in February, signaling modest growth in developed international markets. International-equity funds enjoyed $14.7 billion in new flows, mostly on the passive side.

Optimism about the U.S. market seemed to be catching on, with effects extending to (and flows trickling into) other asset classes as well. U.S. equity has been in positive-flow territory for four consecutive months now, a feat not witnessed since September through December Exhibit 1 U.S. Equity Category Group Monthly Flows ($ Billion) Jan 14 Jul 14 Jan 15 Jul 15 Jan 16 Jul 16 Jan 17

Investors had clearly set their sights on fixed income after the January 2016 stock market sell-off, and when bonds delivered good returns last year, investors kept pouring money into them (and out of stocks). A drastic reversal occurred after the November election, when promises of tax cuts and less regulation ignited hope that the new administration s policies would benefit businesses and enable growth. So far, the U.S. market has amply rewarded these newfound hopes. The S&P 500 was up 10.5% between Nov. 9 and Feb. 28.

Just like in January, the large-blend and blend Morningstar Categories were both in the top five in February. Intermediate-term bond stole the top spot, with positive flows to active and passive funds alike. This has been one of the persistent differences between fixed-income and equity categories these days: When equity categories make the top five, they do so because of large inflows on the passive side (and minimal inflows, many times even outflows, on the active side). Fixed-income categories tend to attract inflows to both active and passive funds. Sometimes, like for intermediate-term bond in February, active-fund inflows are larger than their passive counterparts. Interestingly, however, the opposite was true for corporate bond. Given how the majority of the inflows went to passive funds in the large-blend and foreign large-blend categories in February, it s worth taking a closer look at what happened on the active scene for these categories. Here are the five active funds that attracted the largest inflows in these categories:

The numbers were higher than expected, proving that even within the actively managed universe of U.S. equity categories there were still some funds attracting inflows, despite the overall active flow for the category being deeply negative.

7 Morningstar Quantitative Research 15 March 2017 Page 7 of 9 A Few Bright Spots in the Active-Management Landscape T. Rowe Price, American Funds, and PIMCO had respectable flows among active managers in February. J.P. Morgan remained in positive territory, but its inflows were noticeably smaller. Fidelity and Franklin Templeton suffered outflows. Vanguard and ishares continued to dominate on the passive side. Beginning another battle in the escalating expense-ratio war, Vanguard announced another round of fee cuts last month for a number of international-equity index exchange-traded funds and open-end funds, as well as international index and tax-exempt bond funds. Vanguard extended the cuts to actively managed multiasset and equity funds as well. For example, the expense ratio for Vanguard STAR s VGSTX investor share class was down to 0.32% from 0.34%, and Vanguard Windsor VWNDX saw a steep cut to 0.30% from 0.39%. Charles Schwab (not in the top 10 but still a well-known asset manager) also announced upcoming expense reductions. As of March 1, expenses on the firm s market-cap-weighted index mutual funds aligned with their Schwab ETF equivalents. For example, Schwab S&P 500 Index SWPPX and Schwab Total Stock Market Index SWTSX each saw a cut in annual expenses to 0.03% from 0.09%, the lowest cost available to equity index fund investors. The firm also eliminated investment minimums for these funds.

8 Morningstar Quantitative Research 15 March 2017 Page 8 of 9 PIMCO captured the top spot again in February with PIMCO Income PIMIX attracting the largest inflows among active funds because of its consistent performance. In contrast, PIMCO Total Return PTTRX was still in the bottom five despite good returns. This fund has been sustaining heavy withdrawals since Bill Gross departure in 2014, although it wasn t the fund with the worst redemptions in February. T. Rowe Price New Income PRCIX is a fund with a reliable core bond portfolio that pursues a bit more yield than its Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index benchmark but aims to steer clear of market disasters, writes my colleague Cara Esser, who covers this fund. A bit more yield while steering clear of market disasters sounded like a good proposition to investors, who poured almost $1 billion into this fund last month. T. Rowe Price New Income's thoughtful core allocations and peripheral out-of-benchmark flexibility make it an attractive option, Esser adds.

In the passive arena, ishares took a hit, with three of its funds landing in the bottom five.

9 Morningstar Quantitative Research 15 March 2017 Page 9 of 9 Note: The figures in this report were compiled on March 10, 2017, and reflect only the funds that had reported net assets by that date. The figures in both the commentary and the extended tables are survivorship-bias-free. This report includes both mutual funds and exchange-traded funds, but not funds of funds unless specifically stated. Important methodology note: Morningstar computes flows using the approach that is standard in the industry: Estimated net flow is the change in assets not explained by the performance of the fund. Our method assumes that flows occur uniformly over the course of the month. Adjustments for mergers are performed automatically. When liquidated funds are included, the final assets of the fund are counted as outflows. Reinvested dividends are not counted as inflows. We use fund-level reinvestment rates to improve accuracy in this respect. We make ad hoc adjustments for unusual corporate actions such as reverse share splits, and we overwrite our estimates with actual flows if managers are willing to provide the data to us.
