ETF Market Flow Summary – March 24, 2026


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 landscape saw significant divergence in daily activity, with SPDR and iShares leading absolute inflows at $20.0 billion and $18.4 billion, respectively. Conversely, Vanguard experienced a substantial single-day outflow of $13.5 billion, which contrasts with its positive $146.5 billion year-to-date trend. On a relative basis, HCM and Bushido saw the highest percentage growth in assets under management, both exceeding 21.5% in 1-day flow relative to AUM.
