Daily ETF Flows

Daily ETF Flows: SPY Adds $455.5 Million
By Olivier Ludwig | June 08, 2012

Investors added $455.5 million to the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (NYSEArca: SPY) on a day when stocks rose, but with less vigor than earlier in the week, as doubts began to emerge as to whether the Federal Reserve was prepared to quickly enact new stimulus to prop up the economy.

Between net inflows of $2.42 billion and the rise in stocks, total U.S.-listed ETF assets rose yesterday to more than $1.142 trillion, from just over $1.140 trillion on Wednesday, June 6, according to data compiled by IndexUniverse.

The Dow Jones industrial average rose yesterday 46.17 points, or 0.4 percent, to 12,460.96, as Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke acknowledged that risks to the U.S. economy were heightened by problems in the eurozone, but stopped short of making any commitment to new quantitative easing. His cautious take slowed down the powerful rally that began early this week.

Following SPY on the creations list was the Vanguard MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (NYSEArca: VWO), which pulled in $452.4 million in fresh assets. In the No. 3 spot was the PowerShares QQQ Trust (NasdaqGM: QQQ), which gathered $448.6 million.

U.S. equities, in sum, had inflows of $1.82 billion, while international equities gathered $475.2 million.

Redemptions

Yesterday’s least popular exchange-traded fund was the Utilities Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSEArca: XLU). It had outflows of $251.6 million.

The iShares Barclays 1-3 Year Credit Bond Fund (NYSEArca: CSJ) was the No. 2 ETF on IndexUniverse’s top outflows list, with redemptions totaling $177.5 million.

The Direxion Daily Small Cap Bull 3x ETF (NYSEArca: TNA) was third on the list, with outflows of $86.9 million.
