Investors took $788.7 million out of the iShares Russell 2000 (NYSEArca: IWM) yesterday, as they fled from U.S. equities after deciding the Federal Reserve’s decision to buy longer-term bonds probably won’t provide enough stimulus for a slowing U.S. economy.
Investors took $1.96 billion out of U.S. equities ETFs, with combined net outflows reaching a total of $1.54 billion. That helped bring down total U.S.-listed ETF assets to $1.158 trillion yesterday from around $1.181 trillion on Wednesday, June 20, according to data compiled by IndexUniverse.
The Nos. 2 and 3 funds on IndexUniverse’s “Top 10 Redemptions” list were the Health Care Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSEArca: XLV) and the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (NYSEArca: SPY), which had outflows of almost $378 million and $23.8.5 million, respectively.
Total assets were yanked down in large measure by the stock market. The Dow Jones industrial average, for example, lost 250.82 points, or 2 percent, and closed at 12,57357 points yesterday.
Creations
The PowerShares QQQ (NasdaqGM: QQQ) was the most popular fund on Thursday, gathering more than $329 million. QQQ now has a little over $32 billion in assets.
The PowerShares S&P 500 Low Volatility Portfolio (NYSEArca: SPLV) was the No. 2 fund on the creations list, attracting $231.9 million in new investment – perhaps a reflection of deepening investor nervousness about the stock market.
Rounding out the top three funds was the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund (NYSEArca: EEM), which pulled in $172.9 million in new investment.
