Most Slumping Equity Indexes in Red for the Year
IndexFunds.com Staff
Friday, June 21, 2002
After surging ahead earlier this week, most equity indexes fell sharply going into the weekend. It wasn't a great week for most equity fund investors, and a look at 1-year index returns shows pain has been the norm over the last 12 months. As a result, fund investors have been stuffing cash into conservative fixed-income funds and cooling on stock funds. Lipper reported that S&P 500 index funds experienced outflows of $900 million in May.
The following index performance data was included in Standard & Poor's latest weekly market analysis.
