Daily ETF Flows

Daily ETF Flows: SPY Gathers $1.65 Billion
By Dave Nadig and Olly Ludwig | June 29, 2012

Related ETFs: XLV / IAU / SLV / GDX / SPY / VTI

Investors poured $1.65 billion into the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (NYSEArca: SPY) and bought sector funds as well, amid encouraging late-day talk that EU policymakers might be making headway in addressing the eurozone’s debt crisis.

SPY drove net inflows of $2.15 billion, but stocks ended lower. In the end, total U.S.-listed ETFs fell to just shy of $1.154 trillion from just above that amount on Wednesday, June 28, according to data compiled by IndexUniverse.

The Dow Jones industrial average trimmed early losses and closed just 24.75 points lower, or 0.2 percent, at 12,602.26.

Late-session rumors that European leaders still in a two-day summit might have agreed on ways to ease the region’s debt crisis helped stocks retrace most of their losses early in the session. Those losses were related to J.P. Morgan’s revelation that its recently announced “London Whale” trading losses might amount to $9 billion.

Investors poured $117 million into the Health Care Select SPDR Fund (NYSEArca: XLV)—about 2.5 percent of its assets on the heels of the Supreme Court’s decision to uphold the mandate piece of the “Obamacare” health care legislation.

Also, funds like the Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF (NYSEArca: VTI) were among the most popular ETFs Thursday. VTI attracted $95.7 million on a day when U.S. equities as an asset class brought in $2.06 billion of new investor money.

Redemptions

Gold and silver ETFs were among the day’s top redemptions, as commodities ETFs, as a group, bled nearly $28 million in assets.

The Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (NYSEArca: GDX) and the iShares Gold Trust (NYSEArca: IAU) gave up $76 million and $47 million in assets, respectively.

Investors also pulled out nearly $47 million from the iShares Silver Trust (NYSEArca: SLV).
