1 ? Morningstar Direct SM U.S. Asset Flows Update Morningstar Manager Research 15 December Data through Nov. 30, U.S. Mutual Funds and Exchange- Traded Products Alina Lamy Senior Analyst Markets Research International and Sector Equity Receive Largest Flows in November After a one-off month in which taxable-bond funds received the highest flows, international equity was once again the highest-receiving Morningstar Category group, with a $4.9 billion total inflow in November. Sector equity followed with $4.2 billion. The strong inflow for international equity occurred despite the weak performance of foreign stocks this past month, driven mainly by disappointing third-quarter GDP growth in Europe. The U.S. stock market, on the other hand, was mostly up as many economic indicators continued to show strength: increasing consumer confidence, a solid employment report, and improvement in most housing data. Despite the encouraging outlook, investors withdrew $19.7 billion from active U.S.-equity funds in November. The positive $13.0 billion flow on the passive side was not large enough to offset the active outflow, resulting in an overall $6.7 billion outflow for the category group.

The largest flows went into passive funds, but active funds also received positive flows, in sharp contrast with U.S.-equity and taxablebond funds. Exhibit 1. Flows Through November ($ Billion) Active Passive

3 Morningstar Manager Research 15 December Page 3 of 10 Socially Responsible Funds: A Small but Successful Active Niche In November, actively managed U.S. equity funds saw their sixth-worst monthly outflow since 1993 when Morningstar s fund flow data begins (Exhibit 2). However, a small subcategory has been growing in popularity recently and has managed to attract positive flows on a 12-month rolling basis since October 2013 (Exhibit 3). Socially responsible funds avoid or favor certain investments for moral or ethical reasons; because of this investment style, the majority of them are active. There are currently 75 socially responsible active funds under the U.S.-equity category in Morningstar's database. It is a small subset compared with the entire universe of active U.S.-equity funds (2,210), but again, it is a subset with positive rolling 12-month flows. For a group of active funds, that s nothing short of impressive. Exhibit 2.

Rolling 12-Month Flows, U.S. Equity, Socially Responsible ($ Billion) High-Yield Market Turbulent Following Third Avenue Closure The high-yield bond category has been highly volatile in terms of flows over the past few months, jumping from the bottom five list in September to the leading five in October, and now back again to the bottom-flowing list in November. Adding fuel to the fire, Third Avenue Management announced in the early days of December that it would liquidate its high-yield bond fund, Third Avenue Focused Credit TFCIX, without allowing investors to redeem their shares right away. The fund's remaining assets ($942 million as of Nov. 30) were placed into a liquidating trust, which will make distributions to the fund's shareholders as income is received and assets are sold. Third Avenue expects the liquidation to take up to a year or more to complete. The fund had been posting some of the worst returns among funds in the high-yield category and experiencing massive outflows. It held a large, concentrated allocation in distressed, illiquid bonds and was unable to sell them when performance deteriorated and shareholders asked for their money back. Liquidating a fund in this manner, however, is highly unusual and caused major unrest in the credit markets in early December.

5 Morningstar Manager Research 15 December Page 5 of 10 Foreign Large-Blend and Intermediate-Term Bond Lead Category Flows Intermediate-term bond remained among the top five receiving categories in November, as well as in October. So did foreign large-blend (which is mostly Europe). In essence, the dominant trend observed so far this year seems poised to continue, with investors diversifying heavily into international stocks while maintaining U.S. equity and taxable-bond positions, but predominantly in passively managed funds. The financial and technology open-end categories were among the best-performing in November, rising 2.3% and 2.0%, respectively. For once, flows happened concurrently with returns instead of following them, as financial and technology landed in the top-flowing five last month.

Energy Limited Partnerships: Flows and Returns Oil prices continued to slide, with Brent crude, the global benchmark, falling below $40 a barrel on Tuesday, Dec. 8, for the first time since March 2009, and the shares of energy-focused companies followed. Funds and ETFs in the energy limited partnership category invest a significant amount of their portfolios in energy master limited partnerships. These are partnerships specialized in producing, processing, and especially transporting energy products. Many MLPs run pipelines

6 Morningstar Manager Research 15 December Page 6 of 10 that move natural gas and other energy products around the country. MLPs often catch the eye of income-oriented investors because their payouts can be compelling and their yields very high. These companies have been marketing to investors by emphasizing their steady and almost guaranteed cash flow. Once the pipelines are established, fuel has to flow and whomever wants to transport the fuel has to pay for using the pipelines; therefore, the pipeline owner can enjoy a fairly certain stream of revenue. The problem, however, is that relying on that fairly consistent stream of revenue these businesses have been taking on a lot of debt while paying out 90% 95% of their cash flow and at the same time continuing to pursue aggressive growth strategies. Left without any safety margin, MLPs were hit pretty hard when oil prices began to drop and had no choice but to start cutting distributions to investors. Boardwalk Pipeline BWP did it in early 2014, and Kinder Morgan KMI did it in recent weeks. There may be even more dividend and distribution cuts in the future from other businesses that have been similarly aggressive. The implications are that we started and will very likely continue to see more volatility in flows for funds concentrated in MLPs, as Exhibit 4 illustrates. Also, historically, most of the inflows came in the year or two before the 2014 peak, so most investors only caught the last-minute benefits of the climb. Back in 2009 and 2010, before all the growth happened, the flows were minimal to nonexistent. Exhibit 4.

Vanguard and ishares were pretty close with $14.2 billion and $13.0 billion flows on the passive side. Moreover, as Exhibit 5 illustrates, Vanguard and ishares have dominated this year, followed (at a much longer distance) by DFA. Exhibit 5. Flows Through November for Top 10 Fund Families ($ Billion)

PIMCO Income PIMIX is becoming a real contender in the fixed-income arena these days, beating out Metropolitan West Total Return Bond MWTIX in November with a $1.2 billion inflow. An interesting appearance on the top five this month is T. Rowe Price New Income PRCIX. On the passive side, two Vanguard funds and three ishares funds claim the top five. Vanguard Total International Stock Index VGTSX has been a regular on this list, and it continues to enjoy strong flows. It should be noted, however, that the majority of these flows tend to come from other Vanguard funds, principally its target-date open-end funds, as well as targetrisk and target-date offerings from 529 plans. These funds tend to enjoy regular flows in the form of monthly investor contributions as opposed to lump sums. The fact that Vanguard Total International Stock Index keeps showing up on the top-flowing list could reflect Vanguard s decision to increase its allocation to international stocks within these funds of funds.

10 Morningstar Manager Research 15 December Page 10 of 10 Note: The figures in this report were compiled on Dec. 11,, 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. 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.
