Daily ETF Flows

Daily ETF Flows: SPY Adds $1.13 Billion
By Olivier Ludwig | June 14, 2012

Related ETFs: TLT / SPY

Investors added $1.13 billion to the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (NYSEArca: SPY) on Wednesday, though total ETF assets held about steady as stocks sold off on continuing anxiety that the eurozone’s debt crisis is cutting global growth.

Indeed, SPY-led net inflows of $2.55 billion pretty much offset the market’s declines. Total U.S.-listed ETF assets remained about $1.150 trillion yesterday, unchanged from Tuesday, June 12, according to data compiled by IndexUniverse.

The Dow Jones industrial average fell 77.42 points, or 0.6 percent, to 12,496.38, as markets again fretted that a $100 billion bailout plan for Spanish banks might not be enough to stabilize them. Moreover, Greek banks appear to be facing increasing withdrawals, according to the Wall Street Journal.

Yesterday’s least popular fund, interestingly, was the iShares Barclays 20+ Treasurys Bond Fund (NYSEArca: TLT), which bled $151.1 million in assets.

TLT and other U.S. government bond funds are typically in favor when equity markets are swooning, making the redemptions a bit atypical.
