[![sumit](/sites/default/files/styles/author_image_icon/public/2023-03/Sumit_0.png?itok=SO-7S5SH "sumit")](/authors/sumit-roy) [By Sumit Roy ](/authors/sumit-roy) Jan 06, 2025 Edited by: Kiran Aditham [ + Follow ](/etf/login) Share Email LinkedIn Facebook X (Twitter) googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('js-dfp-tag-article_page_302x26'); }); Loading ETF inflows kicked off the new year with a bang as investors put nearly $32 billion to work across the nearly 4,000 U.S.-listed funds. Of that number, over $25 billion went into U.S. equity exchange-traded funds, while $3.9 billion and $2.5 billion went into U.S. fixed income ETFs and international equity ETFs, respectively. The biggest winners of the week were the [**Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ)**](/qqq), the [**Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO)**](/voo) and the [**SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY)**](/spy), with inflows of $4.6 billion to $6.5 billion. VOO scored a record for calendar-year inflows last year, adding $113 billion. The ETF currently has $584 billion in assets under management (AUM), just $40 billion shy of the [**SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY)**](/spy), the world’s largest ETF by AUM today. The S&P 500 performed well during its first week, rising 1%. However, the index remains a couple of percentage points off its all-time high from early December. ## Outflows From Small Caps, Long Bonds On the outflows side of the ledger, the [**iShares Russell 2000 ETF (IWM)**](/iwm), the [**iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (TLT)**](/tlt), and the [**iShares iBoxx $ Investment Grade Corporate Bond ETF (LQD)**](/lqd) topped the list, each with redemptions of more than $1 billion. IWM rose around 1.5% during the first week of the year, outperforming its large-cap counterparts. Last year, the ETF rose just 11.4%, less than half of SPY’s 24.9% return. IWM has no exposure to the Magnificent Seven group of tech and tech-adjacent stocks that have been powering the S&P 500. Meanwhile, TLT was essentially flat during its first week as long bonds attempted to stabilize following a steep drop last year (TLT finished the year with an 8% loss). The 30-year Treasury yield was last trading at 4.85%, the highest level since Nov. 2023 (bond prices and yields move inversely).
