After 16 straight weekly outflows, U.S. equity mutual funds saw inflows of $5.2 billion, according to Morgan Stanley.

Year-to-date, however, U.S. equity mutual funds have seen net outflows of $22 billion.

The recent inflow to U.S. stocks comes as the S&P 500 made a new all-time high this week, finishing Thursday's trading session at 1,992.37.

Money is also coming back into high-yield bonds, with the week ended August 20 marking the highest weekly inflows this year, according to Bloomberg's Sridhar Natarajan and Christine Idzelis.
