Exchange-traded funds pulled in $13.8 billion in the week ending Oct. 7, the majority of which came from fixed income assets, as investors sought reprieve from volatile markets in the investment vehicle.

Fixed income ETFs pulled in nearly $8.4 billion last week, almost 24% greater than the previous week, according to ETF.com data. Investors fled to the safe haven as market turbulence continued and newly published data showed a hotter-than-expected job market despite the Federal Reserve’s continuing efforts to cool growth.

The yield on the benchmark 10-year note traded at nearly 3.9% on Monday, as better-than-expected job numbers put an end to any hope of the central bank easing its hawkish tilt.

The week’s best performers included the iShares iBoxx USD Investment Grade Corporate Bond ETF (LQD), the iShares iBoxx USD High Yield Corporate Bond ETF (HYG) and the SPDR Bloomberg 1-3 Month T-Bill ETF (BIL).

U.S. equity-focused funds pulled in $4.5 billion, less than half the amount the asset class saw in the previous week. The S&P 500 ended the week down 2.8%, its largest daily slide in almost three weeks.

ETFs that saw the largest losses included the iShares Core S&P Total U.S. Stock Market ETF (ITOT), the Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ) and the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY).
