In a fast-paced and highly competitive market, financial professionals are in constant need of reliable intelligence that helps them understand the current situation and its context. This intelligence enables them to identify inflection points as soon as they occur.
EPFR Stock Flows and Stock Allocations provide visibility into the individual stocks that mutual funds and ETFs are investing in, and at what levels, going back to 2010. More information about these new offerings is available here.
EPFR Stock Flows, a derived data set aggregated by fund group, tracks the dollar amount that funds are putting into or taking out of individual U.S. and global equities on a daily and monthly basis.

The data set tracks more than $4 trillion in global equity assets, including $2.7 trillion from mutual funds.
"This combination of flows and allocations intelligence sheds unique light on the investment community's movement of securities and how heavily they weight those securities," said Cameron Brandt, Director of Research at EPFR.
