U.S. Fund Investor - 2022 Q1 Money Moves

[roi2020]

"After seven straight quarters of inflows, investors started to pull their money from bond funds.
Only $50.9 billion was withdrawn from the $5.3 trillion category group, but it marked the end of a streak that resulted in $1.1 trillion of inflows."

"As growth strategies struggled for the second consecutive quarter, investors put more money into value funds.
On an absolute basis, investors pulled the most from the large-growth Morningstar Category, taking out $20.1 billion, causing it to shrink by 1.19%.
But the $4.9 billion pulled from the mid-cap growth category had a more severe impact."

"While bond funds overall saw outflows, investors still sought refuge in strategies that offer some protection from rising interest rates.
Bank-loan funds replaced inflation-protected bond funds as the inflation-fighting vehicle of choice, and long government-bond funds saw inflows."

"Russia's invasion of Ukraine caused volatility to spike in international markets and left the future for funds that invest in Russian securities uncertain,
but it didn't spook investors from putting their money into broad international-equity funds."

Me, too. 30% bonds, down from 60% in a matter of a few weeks. Biggest bond holding is bank loans, then HY.  PRFRX and TUHYX. Watching for a steep enough price drop to buy a bit more. PRIDX is smid-cap international. Still own less than 4% of portf. in it. It's down drastically YTD. But I'm going to let it float or sink on its own; not going to add. That category's volatility is not to my liking anymore. Still quite a bit ahead of the game with that fund in percentage terms, but now the pot is quite a bit smaller. It might still have appeal for some others here...
