Over the last week, U.S. equities saw the most inflows of any asset class, pulling in some $17 billion, followed by U.S. fixed income, which saw a gain of $3.5 billion. The only category to see outflows during the week ended Thursday, April 27, was inverse ETFs, with outflows of $303.6 million. In all, U.S.-listed ETFs saw nearly $24 billion in inflows.
Although the [iShares Russell 2000 ETF (IWM)](https://www.etf.com/iwm) was the top fund for inflows, with a gain of $4.1 billion, it was the S&P 500 complex of ETFs that had the most notable week.
The [SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY),](https://www.etf.com/spy) [iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV)](https://www.etf.com/ivv) and the [Vanguard S&P 500 Index Fund (VOO)](https://www.etf.com/voo) laid claim to the second, third and fourth spots among the top 10, respectively, with inflows ranging from just short of $1 billion to $4 billion each. All together, the three funds pulled in roughly $8.6 billion.
A fourth large-cap fund claimed the No. 5 spot: The [PowerShares QQQ Trust (QQQ)](https://www.etf.com/qqq), which tracks the Nasdaq-100 Index, saw inflows of $603.8 million. It was definitely a week for large-cap funds, and the [Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLF),](https://www.etf.com/xlf) yet another ETF with a focus on big companies, claimed the 10th spot, with inflows of $478.2 million.
The remainder of those top 10 funds included two covering the eurozone and emerging markets, and two covering the U.S. fixed-income market. Each one pulled in between $480 million and $555 million.
**Gold Miners See Significant Outflows**
The [VanEck Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX)](https://www.etf.com/gdx) saw more than twice the outflows of the fund that was in second place, losing roughly $702 million, or 6.31% of its assets under management, along with a sharp drop in share price. It wasn’t alone though, with its counterpart the [VanEck Vectors Junior Gold Miners ETF (GDXJ)](https://www.etf.com/gdxj) laying claim to the No. 3 spot, with outflows of $285.9 million, or 6.34% of its AUM.
The [SPDR S&P Midcap 400 ETF Trust (MDY)](https://www.etf.com/mdy) was in second place, with a loss of $305.6 million.
Other notable funds that saw large outflows were the [Direxion Daily Small Cap Bull 3x Shares (TNA)](https://www.etf.com/tna) and the [ProShares Short VIX Short-Term Futures ETF (SVXY),](https://www.etf.com/svxy) which lost $242.7 million and $225.9 million, respectively, or nearly 30% of their AUM. They were the smallest funds in the leading outflows group.
Other funds that lost far less and had far more in assets included two Select Sector SPDRs, the [Vanguard REIT Index Fund (VNQ)](https://www.etf.com/vnq) and the [SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF Trust (DIA)](https://www.etf.com/dia).
