Investors yanked $6 billion from U.S. equity ETFs in a shortened holiday week, but rising markets helped lift total assets to $1.738 trillion.



ETFs experienced total outflows of almost $4 billion in a holiday-shortened trading week. But rising markets, spurred on by better-than-expected U.S. jobless claims data and strong manufacturing data, raised total ETF assets about 1 percent on the week to $1.738 trillion.

Financial markets are closed on Friday in observance of Good Friday.

In asset class segments, $6 billion flowed out of U.S. equity strategies in the week ended Wednesday, April 16, though $1.6 billion flowed into international equity funds.

On the fixed-income front, U.S.-focused funds had outflows of $29.3 million, while $399.1 million flowed into international fixed-income ETFs. The S&amp;P 500 Index rose more than 29 points, or 1.6 percent, from the previous week to close at 1,862.31.

The most popular developing-world-focused funds featured equities funds, including the:

- iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF ([EEM | B-100](/EEM)), which pulled in $662.0 million, bringing its total assets up to $36.0 billion
- iShares U.S. Real Estate ETF ([IYR | B-94](/IYR)), which pulled in $543.7 million, bringing its total assets up to $5.07 billion.

At the same, the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF ([SPY | A-98](/SPY)) led all ETF outflows, with redemptions of almost $6.0 billion, bringing its assets down to $155.6 billion and making it the least popular ETF last week.

U.S.-listed ETF assets rose slightly to $1.738 trillion from $1.737 trillion in the previous week ending April 11, according to data compiled by ETF.com Analytics.
