ETF inflows surge as investors rotate toward higher-yield bonds
Investors added $27.2 billion to US-listed ETFs in the week ended Aug. 28, lifting year-to-date inflows to $1.38 trillion.
ETF investors piled into US-listed funds during the week ended Aug. 28, with Yahoo Finance reporting total ETF inflows of $27.2 billion. That activity pushed year-to-date inflows to $1.38 trillion, as investors appeared to rotate toward higher yields amid a softer bond market.
International equity ETFs led inflows with $9.1 billion, followed by US fixed income ETFs at $8.6 billion. US equity ETFs brought in $2.3 billion, while currency funds received $2.5 billion, according to the outlet.
The backdrop included a firmer stock market and rising bond yields. Yahoo Finance said the S&P 500 rose about 1% last week, while the 10-year Treasury yield ticked up slightly, climbing further on Monday to as much as 4.77%, the highest level since January 2025.
Among individual funds, the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO) led with $11.4 billion in inflows, bringing its year-to-date total to $106 billion. The Vanguard Short-Term Treasury ETF (VGSH) added $2.7 billion, while the VanEck Semiconductor ETF (SMH) drew $1.6 billion and the iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT) received $1.2 billion.
