A near-record amount of money headed into U.S.-listed ETFs this week, led by flows into Vanguard products. On net, creations for U.S.-listed ETFs totaled $62.2 billion during the week ending Thursday, Sept. 16—a huge sum, but shy of the [weekly record](https://www.etf.com/sections/weekly-etf-flows/weekly-etf-flows-2021-03-18-2021-03-12) of $71 billion set in March.

Just like then, the latest weekly inflows look like they are at least partly related to tax-related [heartbeat trades](https://www.etf.com/sections/features-and-news/heartbeat-etf-tax-efficiency). But while some of this week’s inflows may reverse next week, much of it may stick.

Back in March, after the big $71 billion haul, only about $20 billion of that came back out in the subsequent week.

In any case, net year-to-date inflows for all U.S.-listed ETFs now stand at $669.8 billion—double the $332.5 billion seen at this same time a year ago. At the current pace, ETFs are on track for more than $900 billion of inflows in 2021.

**Vanguard ETFs Lead**

Of this week’s inflows, about $53 billion went into U.S. equity ETFs. That includes the aforementioned Vanguard ETFs—the [**Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF (VTI)**](https://www.etf.com/VTI), the [**Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF (VIG)**](https://www.etf.com/vig), the [**Vanguard Extended Market ETF (VXF)**](https://www.etf.com/vxf) and others. About half of this week’s inflows came from Vanguard products.

Also gathering assets was the [**SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (SPY)**](https://www.etf.com/spy), with weekly inflows of $10.6 billion. Those inflows made up for a more than a 2% slide in the S&amp;P 500. SPY now has $410.3 billion in assets under management.

Meanwhile, on the outflows side of the ledger, the [**iShares Russell 2000 ETF (IWM)**](https://www.etf.com/iwm) led all ETFs, with weekly redemptions of $1.9 billion, followed by the [**iShares iBoxx USD Investment Grade Corporate Bond ETF (LQD)**](https://www.etf.com/lqd), with redemptions of $1.1 billion.

Investment-grade corporate bond prices were roughly flat week-over-week, while the U.S. 10-year Treasury yield edged up to 1.37% following a better-than-expected reading on U.S. retail sales for August.
