May 27, 2003 — Investors poured money into stock mutual funds last month while bond fund inflows remained strong.

Domestic equity funds drew $12.2 billion in April, a six-fold increase over March, according to Financial Research Corp., which tracks fund flows.

American Funds topped all fund complexes in sales last month, garnering $5.1 billion, as three of its funds led sales of individual funds.
