Top & Bottom 5 ETFs by 5-Day Flow
The iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV) led all funds with $16,547M in weekly inflows, followed by the State Street SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 ETF (SPYM) at $9,837M. On the outflow side, the State Street SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) shed $22,637M, the largest redemption in the channel, while the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO) lost $7,867M. The contrast between IVV’s gains and SPY’s losses suggests investors shifted core S&P 500 exposure between competing large-cap products rather than exiting the segment altogether.
