ETF Weekly Inflows Just Shy Of $20B
'SPY' roars back from last week with $4 billion in Inflows.
U.S.-listed ETFs added $19.8 billion in new assets in the period from Nov. 26 to Dec. 2 as the broad-market equity trading tools sprung back to life.
The U.S. ETF industry has added $799.3 billion in assets year-to-date, and has $6.87 trillion in assets under management.
SPY Roars Back
The SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) bounced back with just more than $4 billion in inflows for the period after losing nearly $2.5 billion the week prior. Other broad-market ETFs on the top of the inflow list include the iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV), the Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF (VTI) and the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO), which, combined, generated $4.8 billion worth of inflows.
Technology ETFs also added assets in the period, with the Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ) adding $2.5 billion. The Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLK) and the VanEck Semiconductor ETF (SMH) added a combined $1.3 billion in the period. However, those figures don’t include the impact of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission announcing a lawsuit to stop Nvidia’s $40 billion acquisition of Arm with minutes to go in Thursday’s trading period.
The lone bond ETF among the top 10 inflow funds was the iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (TLT), which added $2 billion in the period. Those inflows have reversed the fund’s fortunes to a certain extent, such that it now has a year-to-date outflow of just $8 million.
Sectors Struggle
Sector-specific ETFs were among the largest losers in the week.
The Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLF) had the most outflows in the period, with a $1.4 billion loss, while the Industrial Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLI) decreased by $542 million. The iShares U.S. Real Estate ETF (IYR) also saw outflows, to the tune of $413 million.
In the fixed income realm, investors mainly pulled assets out of funds holding bonds with shorter maturities. The Invesco Senior Loan ETF (BKLN) and the iShares 1-5 Year Investment Grade Corporate Bond ETF (IGSB) and the iShares Short Treasury Bond ETF (SHV) lost a combined $1.1 billion in the period.
The iShares MSCI USA Momentum Factor ETF (MTUM) also appeared on the outflows list, with a $1 billion loss after gaining $996 million the week prior. That appears to be rebalancing-related flows from iShares.
