ETF Fund Flows as of April 28, 2026
Here are the daily ETF fund flows for April 28, 2026.
ETF flows showed a clear divergence between niche, high-growth strategies and broad market exposures. On the inflow side, the ARK Innovation ETF led by a wide margin with nearly $1.9 billion in creations and a sharp 19% AUM increase, followed by strong interest in thematic and active strategies like the ARK Autonomous Technology & Robotics ETF (ARKQ) and Capital Group Dividend Value ETF (CGDV). Leveraged and tactical plays, including the Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bear 3x Shares and Direxion Daily TSLA Bull 2X Shares, also saw notable inflows. In contrast, the largest redemptions came from core index funds, led by the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust and Invesco QQQ Trust, signaling broad-based selling in large-cap U.S. equities. Sector and bond ETFs, including iShares iBoxx $ Investment Grade Corporate Bond ETF and semiconductor-focused funds, also experienced outflows. At the asset-class level, international equities and fixed income attracted fresh capital, while U.S. equities saw significant net outflows, driving total ETF flows negative by roughly $3.7 billion—suggesting a rotation away from domestic equities into global and more tactical exposures.
