U.S.-listed ETFs hauled in $44.2 billion last week, according to data from Bloomberg. The latest wave of inflows pushed year-to-date totals to $1.28 trillion, marking a fresh annual record.  
  
Markets were in a broadly upbeat mood as the S&amp;P 500 inched toward its October record, though it didn’t quite break through. Equity ETFs led the charge, pulling in $30.1 billion, while fixed income funds gathered another $10.6 billion.

## SPY Takes the Top Spot

The [**SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (SPY)**](/spy) dominated individual fund flows with $18.1 billion in net inflows. The fund’s flows continue to swing widely as traders use it as a vehicle to move in and out of the market. Despite its huge weekly haul, SPY still sits at negative $8 billion for the year-to-date period, a reminder of just how jumpy its flows can be.  
  
The [**Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ)**](/qqq) also saw strong demand, pulling in $4.2 billion. The Nasdaq-100 came within 1.6% of its October high last week.

## Short-Term Treasuries, Value Stocks Draw Demand

The [**iShares 0–3 Year Treasury Bond ETF (SGOV)**](/sgov) was another major gainer, adding $2.7 billion. The [**iShares Russell 1000 Value ETF (IWD)**](/iwd) brought in $1.3 billion.  
  
Interest in international stocks ticked higher as well. The [**Vanguard Total International Stock ETF (VXUS)**](/vxus) took in $703 million.  
  
Precious metals remained steady recipients of new money. The [**SPDR Gold Shares (GLD)**](/gld) added $700 million, while the [**iShares Silver Trust (SLV)**](/slv) pulled in $592 million.  
  
One standout on the bond side was the [**iShares J.P. Morgan USD Emerging Markets Bond ETF (EMB)**](/emb), which took in $644 million. EMB is up 13% this year, nearly double the 6.8% gain for the [**iShares Core U.S. Aggregate Bond ETF (AGG)**](/agg).

## Largest Outflows

On the outflow side, the [**iShares Core S&amp;P 500 ETF (IVV)**](/ivv) saw the largest redemptions at $10.6 billion. The [**Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3x Shares (SOXL)**](/soxl) lost $1.4 billion, while the [**iShares Russell 2000 ETF (IWM)**](/iwm) shed $1.1 billion.

The [**Vanguard S&amp;P 500 ETF (VOO)**](/voo) also posted a rare weekly outflow of $1.1 billion. Even so, VOO remains the year’s dominant asset gatherer with $123.4 billion in net inflows, far ahead of every other ETF in the market.  
  
For a full list of last week’s top inflows and outflows, see the tables below.
