The fund flows win streak continued last week as investors plowed $10.2 billion into U.S.-listed ETFs. All the major categories, from equities to fixed income to commodity ETFs saw inflows in the week ending Thursday, Aug. 11.

U.S. equity ETFs garnered $5.9 billion worth of inflows, followed by U.S. fixed-income ETFs with $2.9 billion, international equity ETFs with $1.9 billion, international fixed-income ETFs with $436 million and commodity ETFs with $104 million.

Broad ETFs In Favor

In terms of individual ETFs, the giant, broad ETFs were strongly in favor. Those include the iShares Russell 2000 (IWM) at the No.1 position with inflows of $1.7 billion and the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) with inflows of $890 million at the No. 2 position.

A trio of fixed-income ETFs also made the cut. The iShares iBoxx $ High Yield Corporate Bond ETF (HYG) had creations of $701 million; the SPDR Barclays High Yield Bond ETF (JNK) had creations of $450 million; and the iShares iBoxx $ Investment Grade Corporate Bond ETF (LQD) had creations of $430 million.

Meanwhile, the popularity of emerging market ETFs was evident again last week. The iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (EEM) and the Vanguard FTSE Emerging Markets ETF (VWO) both made the top 10 creations list, with inflows of $632 million and $340 million, respectively.
