U.S.-listed ETFs just pulled in another $44.2 billion last week, pushing 2025 flows past $1.28 trillion and locking in a fresh annual record, per Bloomberg data, cited by Etf.com. But beneath the champagne moment, something odd flashed in last week’s numbers: investors couldn’t seem to agree on how they wanted to own the S&P 500.
On one side of the seesaw, SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:SPY) inhaled a massive $18.1 billion, the biggest weekly inflow of any ETF on the market. On the other side, its supposedly steadier siblings, and those who have enjoyed the cheaper fund edge in recent weeks, the iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (NYSE:IVV) and Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (NYSE:VOO) bled $10.6 billion and $1.1 billion, respectively.
