A fairly ho-hum week for financial markets still resulted in investors adding modestly to their ETF holdings. On net, $1.5 billion flowed into U.S.-listed ETFs during the week ending Thursday, April 22. That brought year-to-date inflows up to $295.6 billion, staying well ahead of last year’s $116 billion pace.

Throughout the week, the S&amp;P 500 hovered near its record high set last Friday—though there was some turbulence on Thursday following rumors about a proposed capital gains tax hike. Investors pulled $8.5 billion out of U.S. equity ETFs during the period, but that was more than made up for by the $3.6 billion that flowed into international equity ETFs and the $5.9 billion that went into U.S. fixed income ETFs.

**Treasury ETFs Lead**

In terms of individual funds, short-term Treasury ETFs were among the biggest asset gatherers of the week. The [**Vanguard Short-Term Treasury Index ETF (VGSH)**](https://www.etf.com/VGSH) and the [**Schwab Short-Term U.S. Treasury ETF (SCHO)**](https://www.etf.com/scho) both found themselves on the weekly inflows top 10.

The [**iShares U.S. Treasury Bond ETF (GOVT)**](https://www.etf.com/govt)—which holds a range of Treasuries with maturities greater than one year—also saw interest, with inflows of $1.1 billion.

The rapid rise in Treasury bond yields from earlier this year has seemingly stalled. Since peaking around 1.75% at the end of March, the benchmark 10-year Treasury bond yield dipped below 1.55% this week (bond yields and prices move inversely).

The recent strength in Treasuries has also lent support to corporate bonds and corporate bond ETFs, like the [**iShares iBoxx USD Investment Grade Corporate Bond ETF (LQD)**](https://www.etf.com/lqd), which pilled in $537 million of fresh cash during the week.

**‘QQQ’ &amp; ‘ARK’ Shed Assets**

Looking at equity ETFs, the [**Vanguard S&amp;P 500 ETF (VOO)**](https://www.etf.com/voo), the [**Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF (VTI)**](https://www.etf.com/vti) and the [**iShares Core S&amp;P 500 ETF (IVV)**](https://www.etf.com/ivv) all made the top inflows list for the week.

On the other hand, the [**Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ)**](https://www.etf.com/qqq) and the [**ARK Innovation ETF (ARKK)**](https://www.etf.com/arkk)—both tech-heavy funds—made appearances on the weekly outflows list.
