## [# Weekly ETF Inflows Tepid](/sections/weekly-etf-flows/weekly-etf-inflows-tepid) # Weekly ETF Inflows Tepid Investors took a wait-and-see approach to the markets this week. [![sumit](/sites/default/files/styles/author_image_icon/public/2023-03/Sumit_0.png?itok=SO-7S5SH "sumit")](/authors/sumit-roy) [By Sumit Roy ](/authors/sumit-roy) Apr 27, 2018 Edited by: Sumit Roy [ + Follow ](/etf/login) Share Email LinkedIn Facebook X (Twitter) googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('js-dfp-tag-article_page_302x26'); }); Loading After several weeks of intense positioning, investors took a breather this week. On net, they left their ETF holdings little changed—only adding $972 million in new money to the space during the week ending Thursday, April 26. That pushed year-to-date inflows slightly higher to $81.5 billion. As has largely been the case all year long, ETF flows followed the market. Despite seeing big moves up and down during the week, the S&P 500 finished the week close to unchanged—mirroring flows. With the Q2 earnings season in full swing, corporations have been hitting it out of the park. According to Bloomberg, 82% of companies that have reported so far have beaten estimates, the largest percentage on record. However, nagging concerns about trade, slowing growth overseas, and interest rates offset the rosy-profits picture. Meanwhile, as the stock market stalled, the bond market saw action. The U.S. 10-year Treasury yield hit a four-year high of 3.04% on Wednesday before backing down to last trade at 2.96% on Friday. **‘SPTM’ Assets Increase By A Quarter** Taking a look at individual ETFs, the [iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV)](https://www.etf.com/IVV), the [iShares Core MSCI EAFE ETF (IEFA)](https://www.etf.com/Iefa) and the [iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (TLT)](https://www.etf.com/tlt) were the week’s biggest inflows winners. On a percentage basis, the [SPDR Portfolio Total Stock Market ETF (SPTM)](https://www.etf.com/sptm) had the largest jump, with an AUM increase of 24%. On the other side of the ledger, the [PowerShares QQQ Trust (QQQ)](https://www.etf.com/qqq), the [SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY)](https://www.etf.com/spy) and the [iShares Russell 2000 ETF (IWM)](https://www.etf.com/iwm) were the ETFs with the largest outflows during the week.
