During the year 2011, an enormous $11.3 billion came to the US stock market. The market substantially grew during the initial months of January and February. In March, the total returns turned negative with many draw downs and positive following run ups. Since late March, both the foreign and emerging markets have strongly maintained alike performance.

It was not a surprising issue that there were only two months when the cash flows of VWO and EFA did not move in the same way. This divergence may be the effect of market participants, who aimed to build out international exposure on the dips.

From the month of May, however, the cash flows remained consistently positive.
