ETF Company Creations: Week Ending March 28, 2008

Vanguard led all fund companies with $491 million in net creation activity for the week ending March 28. That activity was spread fairly evenly across the Vanguard platform, with no single fund attracting more than $100 million in net new creation assets.

Victoria Bay rode strong inflows into its US Oil Fund (USO) to take second place on the creations lists, as more than $400 million in new shares of that fund were created last week.

ProShares was the only other company with significant creation activity, posting $322 million in net creation activity. That was led by the ProShares UltraShort Financials ETF (SKF), which had $336 million in net creation activity for the week.

The other notable entry on the creation list was Bear Stearns, which notched fifth place after securing $50 million for its new actively managed Current Yield fund (YYY).

On the flip side, the rush of assets out of SPY and IVV doomed SSgA and BGI to the bottom of the table.
