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.

Vanguard led issuers with a $2.12 billion intake, continuing its strong performance with $38.01 billion in 30-day flows and over $305 billion year-to-date. iShares followed with $1.67 billion in daily creations, reversing a recent trend that saw the firm shed over $9 billion in the prior five sessions. On the other end, VanEck experienced the day’s largest outflow at ($1.89 billion), a sharp contrast to its positive YTD flow of $9.60 billion. First Trust saw net redemptions of ($487.2M), though this figure was influenced by significant rebalancing activity in some of its funds.
