Investors poured $996.7 million into the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (NYSEArca:SPY) on Tuesday, the leading edge of more than $2.8 billion that flowed into U.S. equities and helped lift total ETF assets. Those inflows helped offset the effects of a stock market that declined due to uncertainty in Greece.

The PowerShares QQQ Trust (NasdaqGM:QQQ), the Nasdaq 100 ETF, added $877.5 million in fresh assets and the Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSEArca:XLF) gathered $334.0 million.

U.S. equities had net inflows totaling $2.86 billion, though international equities suffered net outflows of $3.7 million.
