Investors plowed $964.6 million into the iShares Russell 2000 Index Fund (IWM) yesterday, as stocks fell amid a sharpening sense that global growth is imperiled by the eurozone’s fiscal mess.
Overall, net inflows were positive to the tune of $1.34 billion, though, and total U.S.-listed ETF assets fell yesterday to $1.171 trillion from $1.177 trillion on Wednesday, July 11, according to data compiled by IndexUniverse.
Total assets fell because of market movement, with the Dow Jones industrial average shedding 31.26 points, or 0.25 percent, to close at 12,573.27—its sixth straight day of decline. While the stock market retraced much of its early losses, share prices still sagged as investors are coming to terms with a sense that the Fed may be concerned about flagging growth, but it won’t hastily roll out any new measures to bolster growth.
Yesterday’s least popular fund was the PowerShares QQQ Trust (QQQ), which had outflows of $249.7 million.
The SPDR Gold Shares (GLD), the $63.52 billion ETF, meanwhile had outflows of $75.5 million, as investors continue to favor bonds over precious metals as a safe-haven play.
Inflows into U.S. equity funds totaled $1.34 billion, while inflows into U.S. and international bond funds were more than $138.7 million. Futures-based commodities funds had net outflows of $58.8 million.
