A Look at How Funds Are Flowing into and out of VPU

We’ll look at the fund flows into the Vanguard Utilities Fund (VPU) in this part. Since July 2016, VPU has experienced net outflows of nearly $320 million. Since then, VPU has corrected nearly 8%.

It should be noted that VPU hasn’t seen net inflows of funds since mid-July. We could continue to see outflows of funds from utilities (FXU)(IDU) as the interest rate hike environment heats up further.
