ETF Inflows Notch New Monthly Record

Nov 01, 2022

Reviewed by: Sumit Roy

Edited by: Sumit Roy

ETFs registered blazing hot inflows during October, led by U.S. equity and U.S. fixed income ETFs. The month’s haul—$91.5 billion—was a new monthly record, edging past the inflows of $91.1 billion seen in March of this year and the $91.2 billion seen in November 2020.

Of the inflows, $52.5 billion went into U.S. equity ETFs and $31.1 billion went into U.S. fixed income ETFs. On the other hand, commodity ETFs had net outflows of $2.9 billion.

Following October’s robust showing, year-to-date inflows for U.S.-listed ETFs now stand at just over $500 billion, compared with $725.9 billion at the same time a year ago. Though they lag behind last year’s record pace, ETF inflows in 2022 are on the cusp of surpassing 2020’s full-year total of $507.4 billion—which is the second-largest annual haul.

TIPS ETFs In Favor

The bulk of October’s inflows went into equity ETF titans like the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) and the iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV).

Corporate bond ETFs, like the iShares iBoxx USD Investment Grade Corporate Bond ETF (LQD) and the SPDR Bloomberg High Yield Bond ETF (JNK), were popular as well.

For a full list of October’s top inflows and outflows, see the tables below:
