U.S.-listed ETFs gained a relatively tiny net inflow of $430.8 million last week after another 50 basis point rate hike from the Fed sent markets tumbling on Friday.

The U.S. ETF industry has garnered $192.4 billion in net inflows year to date as of Friday, according to ETF.com data provider FactSet, and has $6.6 trillion in assets.

**Bond Inflows Curb Equity Losses**

U.S.-focused bond funds led all asset classes last week, with $3.4 billion in new assets, canceling out the approximately $2.9 billion in outflows from U.S. equity ETFs.

The [**iShares iBoxx USD High Yield Corporate Bond ETF (HYG)**](https://www.etf.com/HYG) led all ETFs, with approximately $1.7 billion in net inflows, followed by the [**iShares National Muni Bond ETF (MUB)**](https://www.etf.com/MUB) and the [**Vanguard Mortgage-Backed Securities ETF (VMBS)**](https://www.etf.com/VMBS), with $795 million and $747 million, respectively.

Bond investors also flocked to super-safe short-term Treasury assets, with the [**iShares 1-3 Year Treasury Bond ETF (SHY)**](https://etf.com/shy) and the [**SPDR Bloomberg 1-3 Month T-Bill ETF (BIL)**](https://etf.com/bil) adding $663 million and $603 million, respectively.

The [**Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF (VTI)**](https://etf.com/vti) was the top equity gainer on the week, with $633 million in new assets, while the [**Utilities Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLU)**](https://etf.com/xlu) added $530 million.

It wasn’t all risk-off last week, with the [**iShares Russell 1000 Growth ETF (IWF)**](https://etf.com/iwf) adding $590 million and the [**ARK Innovation ETF (ARKK)**](https://etf.com/arkk) taking in $512 million.

**Widespread Fallout**

Outflows varied across asset classes and sectors last week, with the [**SPDR S&amp;P Dividend ETF (SDY)**](https://etf.com/sdy) seeing the largest loss of all funds, with $2.1 billion pulled. However, the move appears to be the second leg of a tax-minimizing heartbeat trade that began the week prior.

The [**Schwab U.S. TIPS ETF (SCHP)**](https://etf.com/schp) was second on the top outflows list, shedding $2.1 billion.

The [**Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLF)**](https://etf.com/xlf) led equity fund losses with a $1.5 billion outflow as investors questioned broader economic growth conditions, while the [**Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLE)**](https://etf.com/xle) lost $1.1 billion. The [**SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (SPY)**](https://etf.com/spy) saw a decrease of $900 million.

The [**SPDR Gold Trust (GLD)**](https://etf.com/gld) was the lone commodity fund on the top 10 outflows list, losing $741 million.
