Investors added $1.13 billion to the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (NYSEArca: SPY) yesterday, though market declines helped offset net inflows and pull total ETF assets down.

SPY was the leading edge of net inflows that totaled $1.55 billion, but total assets under management fell to $1.149 trillion from a record $1.152 trillion on Friday, Jan. 27, according to data compiled by IndexUniverse. The Dow Jones industrial average edged down 6.74 points to 12,653.72, as investors again focused on what’s to be done about the indebtedness of Greece and Portugal.

The PowerShares QQQ Trust (NasdaqGM: QQQ) of Nasdaq’s 100 biggest nonfinancial companies had inflows of $365.7 million, making it the No. 2 fund on IndexUniverse’s “Top 10 Creations" list. The No. 3 fund on the list was the iShares Dow Jones U.S. Real Estate Index Fund (NYSEArca: IYR), which pulled in $162.6 million in new investment.

Redemptions

The Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSEArca: XLE) had outflows of $334.5 million, making it the No. 1 ETF on IndexUniverse’s “Top 10 Redemptions” list.

The No. 2 fund on the redemptions list was the small-cap iShare Russell 2000 Index Fund (NYSEArca: IWM), which had outflows of $264.9 million. The No. 3 fund on the list was the SPDR S&P Retail ETF (NYSEArca: XRT). It suffered outflows of $202.9 million.
