BlackRock reallocations spur outflows from active iShares ETFs
During the week ended September 24, BlackRock redirected advisor money toward BLCR, while BAI, IDEF and MTUM saw net outflows.
BlackRock Model Portfolio Solutions made significant allocation shifts during the week ended September 24, 2026, affecting flows across several iShares active ETFs, ETF Trends reported.
The activity drove notable net outflows from the iShares Innovation and Tech Active ETF, the iShares Defense Industrials Active ETF, and the iShares MSCI USA Momentum Factor ETF. At the same time, BlackRock’s models led advisors to redirect money into the iShares Large Cap Core Active ETF, BLCR.
ETF Trends said the shift reflects a model approach that favors active ETFs, particularly for highly diversified core equity exposure. It also noted that BlackRock typically makes changes a few times a year, which can quickly move ETFs up and down the flows leaderboard.
The outlet added that BlackRock’s impact is not limited to equities, citing a prior fixed income example when the iShares Global Government Bond USD Hedged Active ETF (GGOV) jumped from $45 million to nearly $3 billion in a week after model changes. It also pointed to BLCR’s growth from just over $100 million in March 2026 to $9 bi in the present.
