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.

The ETF issuer league table was dominated by industry giants, with SPDR leading all firms by collecting $5.96B in net new assets, significantly boosting its year-to-date intake to $92.09B. Invesco followed with a strong $4.81B inflow, continuing a robust month that has seen it add $17.10B. iShares and Vanguard also posted substantial daily inflows of $2.64B and $2.00B, respectively, consistent with their leading year-to-date figures of $257.24B and $328.17B. On the other end of the spectrum, iM experienced the largest outflows, shedding $236.8M, which represented a significant -6.06% of its AUM, while Direxion saw redemptions of $159.4M.
