Word of the day: Capital Flows

Capital flows represent the movement of money from one place to another, usually divided by category.

In a business, this can be divided by production, investment and research and development. (Basically, where the money is going in the company.) In terms of investing, it can refer to the flow of funds into various asset classes, such as stocks and bonds. You can break it down further from there. For stock investments, for example, you can view the capital flows by industry, such as healthcare or real estate.
