Top & Bottom 5 ETFs by 5-Day Flow
Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO) led all funds in weekly inflows with $3,524M, followed by State Street SPDR S&P Dividend ETF (SDY) at $1,553M. On the outflow side, State Street SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) saw the largest redemption at -$6,607M, well ahead of Invesco QQQ Trust Series I (QQQ) at -$2,683M. The contrast between VOO’s strong inflows and SPY’s sizable outflows suggests investors may be rotating between competing large-cap core vehicles rather than exiting the segment broadly.
