ETFs registered a rare net outflow this week as U.S. stocks neared correction territory. According to the latest data from FactSet, investors pulled $28.1 billion from U.S.-listed ETFs during the week ending Thursday, Sept. 24, bringing year-to-date inflows down to $304.4 billion (year-to-date inflows were $196.9 billion at this same time a year ago).

 Some of this week's chunky outflow may be related to tax-related heartbeat trades from last week. But that doesn't explain all of it. The **[SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (SPY)](https://www.etf.com/SPY)** faced outflows of $7.8 billion this week as the fund's underlying index briefly fell more than 10% below its all-time highs on Thursday. A decline of more than 10% for the index is considered a correction by many on Wall Street.

 U.S. equity ETFs were responsible for the bulk of this week's outflows; $27.6 billion came out of the segment. But U.S. fixed income ETFs had outflows as well.

 The **[iShares iBoxx USD High Yield Corporate Bond ETF (HYG)](https://www.etf.com/hyg)** made up the majority of those outflows. It had redemptions of $3.3 billion during the week as prices for the fund dropped to their lowest level since mid-July.

**Bargain Hunting**

 On the other side of the spectrum, the **[Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ)](https://www.etf.com/qqq)** headlined the weekly inflows list this week, despite a continued sell-off in technology names.

 At the same time, the **[SPDR Gold Trust (GLD)](https://www.etf.com/gld)** added $1.3 billion in fresh assets, bringing its year-to-date inflows haul to $20.8 billion. Investors may have been using the recent slide in gold prices to go bargain hunting. Gold was last trading around $1,865/oz after peaking at $2,075 back in August.
