The Investment Company Institute is the national association of U.S. investment companies, including mutual funds, closed-end funds, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and unit investment trusts (UITs). Members of ICI manage total assets of $11.82 trillion and serve nearly 90 million shareholders. Flow estimates are derived from data collected covering more than 95 percent of industry assets and are adjusted to represent industry totals.
More inflows for taxable bond funds last week, more outflows for domestic equity funds, and more modest inflows for municipal bond funds, foreign equity funds, and hybrid funds. So far in 2010, taxable bond funds have had inflows of over $172 billion and domestic equity funds have had outflows of nearly $36 billion.
how many years back do you have data like this/-meaning can you publish like 10-15 years worth of data that shows this kind of info-just on a yearly basis would be fine-i’m curious to see the correlation if any between where money has flowed and the performance of the asset class
thanks
ICI has data going back several years. See the link below:

Dalbar has also done some interesting studies on the subject:
