Fixed income ETFs continued to gather assets this week, helping to push overall ETF flows into positive territory. On net, investors added $3.4 billion to U.S.-listed ETFs during the week ending Thursday, Aug. 22, according to FactSet.

About $4.1 billion went into U.S. fixed income ETFs, and $603 million went into international fixed income ETFs. On the flip side, $631 million came out of U.S. equity ETFs and $1.7 billion came out of international equity ETFs.

Year-to-date net inflows for all ETFs now stand at $140.5 billion, behind last year’s $163.1 billion pace.

**‘GLD’ Picks Up Assets**

Bond prices remained well-supported this week, keeping yields at historically low levels. The **[Schwab U.S. TIPS ETF (SCHP)](https://www.etf.com/SCHP)**, **the [Vanguard Short-Term Inflation-Protected Securities ETF (VTIP)](https://www.etf.com/vtip)** and the **[iShares U.S. Treasury Bond ETF (GOVT)](https://www.etf.com/govt)** were among the fixed income flows winners of the week.

Also benefiting from the economic uncertainty and low yields around the world was the **[SPDR Gold Trust (GLD)](https://www.etf.com/gld)**. It took in $510 million of fresh cash as gold prices remained at six-year highs above $1,500/oz.

**Outflows Of $375M For ‘EEM’**

Meanwhile, on the outflows side, U.S. equity ETF giants like the **[SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (SPY)](https://www.etf.com/Spy)**, the **[Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ)](https://www.etf.com/qqq)** and the **[Invesco S&amp;P 500 Low Volatility ETF (SPLV)](https://www.etf.com/splv)** were at or near the top of the list.

International equity ETFs also fared poorly, with the **[iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (EEM)](https://www.etf.com/eem)**, the **[iShares MSCI Japan ETF (EWJ)](https://www.etf.com/ewj)** and the **[iShares China Large-Cap ETF (FXI)](https://www.etf.com/fxi)** facing the largest outflows of the week.
