Inflows were almost evenly distributed among equity and bond ETFs in a shortened holiday week, and rising markets helped push total assets to $1.756 trillion.

Inflows were almost evenly distributed among equity and bond ETFs in a shortened holiday week, and rising markets helped push total assets to $1.756 trillion.

ETFs experienced total inflows of almost $4 billion in a holiday-shortened trading week, and rising markets, spurred on by stronger-than-expected earnings reports across sectors, helped push total U.S.-listed ETF assets UP about 1 percent on the week to $1.756 trillion.

Financial markets were closed on Friday, April 18, in observance of Good Friday.

In asset class segments, $596.6 million flowed into U.S. equity strategies in the week ended Thursday, April 17, while $1.9 billion flowed into international equity funds.

On the fixed-income front, U.S.-focused funds had inflows of $1.5 billion, while a mere $14 million flowed out of international fixed-income ETFs. The S&P 500 Index rose more than 13 points, or less than 1 percent, from the previous week to close at 1,878.61.

The most popular developing-world-focused funds featured equities funds, including the Energy Select SPDR ETF (XLE | A-96), which pulled in $1.4 billion, bringing its total assets up to $11.3 billion.

On the fixed-income front, investors added $487.3 million to the iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (TLT | A-76), making it the most popular fixed-income fund last week.

At the same, the PowerShares QQQ Trust (QQQ | A-51) led all ETF outflows, with redemptions of almost $768.8 million, bringing its assets down to $41.1 billion and earning the dubious distinction of being the least popular ETF last week.

 

U.S.-listed ETF assets rose to $1.756 trillion from $1.738 trillion in the previous week ending April 10, according to data compiled by ETF.com Analytics.
