For the weeks ending Aug. 8 and Aug. 1, total net outflows from real estate mutual funds amounted to $51 million but that was more than compensated for during the week ending Aug. 15, which saw net inflows of $80 million.

Bear Stearns' coverage universe saw 5.4% average FFO growth for the quarter, below its forecast of 5.7%.
