U.S.-listed ETFs saw another net inflow this week on the whole, but investors sold equity ETFs despite a strong week for stocks in terms of performance. Instead, it was fixed-income ETFs that continued to steadily gain assets from investors.  
  
On net, $850 million flowed into ETFs of all kinds in the week ending Thursday, Feb. 18. U.S. fixed-income ETFs had an inflow of $3.2 billion, while U.S. equity ETFs had an outflow of $800 million, and international equity ETFs had an outflow of $2.1 billion.  
  
That said, while fixed income was this week's flows leader, it wasn't just safe-haven Treasurys that took in money. In fact, the beaten-down iShares [iBoxx $ High Yield Corporate Bond ETF (HYG | B-68)](https://www.etf.com/HYG) took the No. 1 spot, with a $837 million inflow. With junk bond yields near double-digit levels, some investors saw value in the space.  
  
Another beaten-down ETF that saw bargain buying was the [Energy Select SPDR (XLE | B-68)](https://www.etf.com/XLE), with inflows of $503 million, while the [iShares Gold Trust (IAU | B-100)](https://www.etf.com/IAU) gained $259 million on safe-haven buying.  
  
On the other side of the ledger was the [SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF (SPY | A-98)](https://www.etf.com/SPY), which had outflows of $1.3 billion, leading all ETFs. Another notable loser was the [WisdomTree Japan Hedged Equity ETF (DXJ | B-66)](https://www.etf.com/DXJ), with a $372 million outflow. Japanese stocks have struggled all year amid a faltering economy and a stronger currency.
