Commonality under pressure: banks and funds

Abstract

We study the joint evolution of financial strain at banks and investment funds. When market pressure on banks intensifies from an elevated level, net flows decline at open-ended corporate bond mutual funds (MFs), corporate bond exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and prime money market funds alike. This commonality has risen materially over time for all three fund types. That said, bond ETFs can be a stabilising force, as salient features of their business model help attract investor inflows in times of stress. By contrast, outflows from bond MFs tend to contribute to a tightening of market conditions when banks are already under pressure.
