Close to $11 billion flowed back into equity ETFs last week, amid promises from the Fed’s new chairman to keep tapering in place. Investors plowed close to $11 billion into equities-focused ETFs last week, $9.24 billion of it to U.S. equities strategies, as markets surged in the wake of Federal Reserve Chairman Janet Yellen’s promises to stay the course on reducing the central bank’s economic stimulus. Fixed-income ETFs experienced total inflows of $2.6 billion, which paled in comparison with last week’s $11.26 billion in fixed-income inflows, but investors showed continued optimism about the market nonetheless. Overall, investors piled $14.0 billion into ETFs in the week ended Thursday, Feb. 13, pulling total U.S.-listed ETF assets up by 3.4 percent to $1.683 trillion, according to data compiled by ETF.com. The dramatic pivot in ETF flows followed Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen’s promise Tuesday to stay on course to pare the Fed’s economic stimulus program despite a recent slowdown in job growth. Markets rallied around Yellen’s statements before the House Financial Services Committee to “be very careful not to jump to conclusions" about recent weak job gains, citing arctic winter conditions that adversely affected the economy and job market. So, investors are rewarding equities and buying bond funds spanning the yield curve and credit quality. The SPDR S&P 500 ETF ([SPY | A-97](/SPY)) led all equity funds, raking in $5.3 billion last week, bringing its total assets up to $154.0 billion. The Pimco 0-5 Year High Yield Corporate Bond ([HYS](/HYS)) led all bond inflows, pulling in $504.7 million. On the contrary, the iShares U.S. Industrials ([IYJ | A-93](/IYJ)) was the least popular ETF last week, redeeming $636.6 million, bringing its assets down to $1.28 billion.
