Corrects by adding an apostrophe to 'bank's' and changes verb to 'was'

STOCKHOLM, April 22 (Reuters) - Sweden's Handelsbanken SHBa.ST reported first-quarter net profit above market expectations on Wednesday and said net inflow to the bank's funds was good during the quarter.

The bank, a rival of Swedbank SWEDa.ST, SEB SEBa.ST and Nordea NDAFI.HE, said net profit rose 6% to 6.36 billion Swedish crowns ($693 million) from 5.97 billion a year earlier, against a mean analyst forecast of 5.69 billion crowns in LSEG estimates.
