- Exchange traded funds continue to take in a record-setting pace of inflows. Year-to-date ETFs have brought in +$311B, which keeps the pace up to reach a record one-year $1T in inflows. $1T would not only be a record intake, but it would also double its previous record.
- In the first quarter of 2021, investors were net purchasers of +$221.6B in ETFs and now net purchasers of +$311B. To put the record pace of inflows into context, market participants had to wait until the fourth quarter of 2020 in mid-October to reach +$311B of inflows.
- Furthermore, market players have seen that 1,600 ETFs are net positive in inflows year-to-date out of the entire exchange traded fund universe.
- Another interesting note is that aside from the largest AUM ETFs, there are now 1,000 exchange traded funds with AUM between $100M and $1B.
