Issuer League Tables

Note on Flow Volatility: Daily flow outliers may be driven by specialized portfolio rebalancing. With the continued growth of actively managed ETFs, these events occur with greater frequency and often do not align with traditional, scheduled index rebalance dates.

Invesco dominated the issuer league table, pulling in $3.46 billion in net new assets, which aligns with its strong 30-day trend of $23.94 billion in collections. Dimensional and Vanguard also had strong showings, adding $427.7 million and $408.5 million, respectively, continuing their consistent year-to-date inflows of $35.07 billion and $369.39 billion. On the other end of the spectrum, VanEck saw the largest daily outflow at $171.9 million, followed by Roundhill with $124.2 million in redemptions. On a relative basis, Alger stood out with an 8.21% increase in AUM from a $337.0 million inflow.
