With only two trading sessions unaccounted for, ETFs are on track to collect their second-largest annual inflow ever in 2018. Following this week’s $2.5 worth of inflows, the year-to-date inflows total for U.S.-listed ETFs rose to $309 billion, second only to 2017’s $476.1 billion haul.

In impressive fashion, ETFs had strong inflows throughout December, even as the U.S. stock market tumbled relentlessly. The S&amp;P 500 briefly fell 20% below its all-time highs, spooked by global growth concerns spurred on by the U.S.-China trade war, Brexit and Fed rate hikes.

During this week specifically—the final full trading week of the year—investors pulled a modest $3.8 billion from U.S. equity ETFs. But inflows for international equity and U.S. fixed-income ETFs more than made up for that.

The [SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (SPY)](https://www.etf.com/SPY), with $8.4 billion worth of inflows, and the [iShares Short Treasury Bond ETF (SHV)](https://www.etf.com/SHV), with $2.1 billion worth of inflows, were two of the biggest winners during the week.

On the other hand, the [Vanguard S&amp;P 500 ETF (VOO)](https://www.etf.com/VOO) and the [SPDR Bloomberg Barclays High Yield Bond ETF (JNK)](https://www.etf.com/jnk) shed assets.

For a full list of this week’s top inflows and outflows, see the tables below:
