Investors put $208.9 million into the Industrial Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSEArca: XLI), making it the No. 1 ETF on IndexUniverse’s “Top 10 Creations” list. Stocks edged higher on renewed hopes that Greece would be getting new bailout money.

The No. 2 fund on the creations list was the Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSEArca: XLE), which had inflows of $191.8 million. The No. 3 fund on the list was the Vanguard MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (NYSEArca: VWO), which saw inflows of $174.3 million.
