QQQ lost $396.1 million to redemptions on Monday, April 16, as outflows and market volatility pulled total U.S.-listed ETF assets down to $1.179 trillion.

Investors pulled $396.1 million from the PowerShares QQQ Trust (NasdaqGM: QQQ), making it No. 1 on IndexUniverse’s “Top 10 Redemptions” list. U.S. blue chips stocks rose; however, there was a slide in tech stocks.

Net outflows were $847.3 million and total assets under management fell to $1.179 trillion from $1.182 trillion on Friday, April 13.

The Dow Jones industrial average rose 71.82 points, or 0.6 percent, to close at 12,921.41. Blue chip stocks rose on better-than-expected retail sales, but tech stocks slumped as some investors reportedly anticipated a market correction to major stocks such as Apple. The S&P 500 was down 0.69 points, or 0.1 percent, to close at 1,369.57.

The No. 2 fund on IndexUniverse’s redemptions list was the Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSEArca: XLF), which had outflows of $297.4 million. The No. 3 fund on the list was the SPDR S&P MidCap 400 ETF (NYSEArca: MDY), which had outflows of $214.3 million.

U.S.-focused equity ETFs had outflows of $834.0 million.

Creations

Investors put $219.4 million into the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (NYSEArca: VOO), making it No. 1 on IndexUniverse’s “Top 10 Creations” list.

The No. 2 fund on the list was the SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF (NYSEArca: DIA), which had inflows of $212.9 million. The No. 3 fund on the list was the iShares Russell 2000 Index Fund (NYSEArca: IWM), which had inflows of $103.6 million.

U.S.-focused fixed-income ETFs had inflows of $214.3 million.
