U.S.-listed ETFs gained $28 billion during the week ended Friday, May 27, with three funds tracking the S&P 500 Index leading the way. The SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY), the iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV) and the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO) added $4.1 billion, $2.1 billion and $1.4 billion, respectively.

Interestingly, another widely followed ETF led redemptions; the Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ) lost $1.4 billion during the week, more than any other ETF. Last week, QQQ was in the No. 4 spot on the inflow table.

That slot in the ranking was claimed this week by the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Min Vol ETF (EEMV), with a $1.4 billion gain, continuing its streak from the prior week, in which it gained $1 billion. The Health Care Select Sector SPDR (XLV) added $946.1 million.

Half the ETFs in the top 10 for creations were fixed income ETFs, with the iShares National Muni ETF (MUB) gaining $1.2 billion and landing in the No. 5 spot. The iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (TLT) added $919.4 million, while corporate bond ETFs claimed the bottom three rungs.

Interesting Mix

Beyond QQQ, the list of redemptions was all over the place in terms of asset classes and strategy.

The JPMorgan Realty Income ETF (JPRE), which just completed its conversion into an ETF from a mutual fund, lost $655.3 million during the week. It was followed by the iShares ESG Aware MSCI EM ETF (ESGE) and the iShares GSCI Commodity Dynamic Roll Strategy ETF (COMT), which lost $515.2 million and $419 million, respectively.

Two factor funds also landed on the top redemptions list for the week. The Invesco S&P 500 Low Volatility ETF (SPLV) lost $326.4 million, while the iShares MSCI USA Value Factor ETF (VLUE) lost $282 million. It could be that investors are more comfortable with risk and growth in the wake of the near miss on a bear market at the end of the week prior to last.

Fixed income ETFs claimed three spots among the ETFs leading redemptions. The iShares Short Treasury Bond ETF (SHV) lost $411.2 million, and the iShares Core 1-5 Year USD Bond ETF (ISTB) saw outflows of $310.8 million. The Xtrackers Low Beta High Yield Bond ETF (HYDW) lost $282.6 million.

Despite S&P 500 ETFs topping the outflows list, the Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF (VTI) was one of the biggest losers of the week, though the $288.1 million that drained from it during the week was barely a blip relative to its more than $261 billion in AUM.
