Morningstar has released its US Asset Flows Update through August 31, 2014. $32.6 billion entered long-term mutual funds and ETFs during August, led by strong flows to international-stock funds as well as fixed income. Active US Equity Funds saw outflows for the sixth straight month, leading a $4.1 billion loss for US equity focused funds.

Long-term mutual fund and ETF assets grew to $13.9 trillion, exhibiting 11% organic growth over the last year. In comparison, active funds have grown only 2% in the same time.

Morningstar has begun to include both mutual funds and ETFs in their US Asset Flows Update. This reflects the significant share of assets and flows that ETFs now hold.
