NEW YORK, March 31 (Reuters) - Investors put fresh cash to work in both equities and bond funds in the week ended March 30, with gains for both domestic and international stock funds while municipals lost out for a 20th straight week, data from Lipper showed on Thursday.
U.S. domiciled equity funds took in an estimated net $6.12 billion, roaring back from the prior week's net outflow of $2.4 billion.
Lipper, a Thomson Reuters service, reported a $4.3 billion net inflow for U.S.-focused equity funds while non-domestic equites had net inflows of $1.8 billion.
Muni bond funds had outflows of $404 million, putting the 20-week streak total at $29.5 billion in net redemptions.
The weekly Lipper fund flow data is compiled from reports issued by U.S.-domiciled mutual funds and exchange-traded funds. The weekly data goes back to 1992.
