Investors, urged on by positive economic data and ongoing
effects of the Federal Reserve's easy-money policies, poured $2.37
billion into U.S. ETFs in the five trading days ended Oct. 4,
helping lift total U.S.-listed exchange-traded fund assets up to a
record of $1.315 trillion.
Rising markets also provided a tail wind, with the Dow Jones
industrial average rising 0.6 percent on Thursday, Oct. 4 to
13,575.36 from 13,485.97 in the prior five-day period, ended Sept.
27. Investors were responding to economic data pointing to growth
in the jobs market and the services sector, and gold inflows spoke
to the effects of the Fed's "QE3" program.
The new asset record of $1.315 trillion eclipsed a previous
high-water mark of almost $1.311 trillion set on Sept. 19,
according to data compiled by IndexUniverse. The latest weekly
inflows follow a record month of inflows in September.Total assets
at the end of last month were up 22.5 percent from the end of 2011,
and up a third from $973.5 million a year earlier.
Last week's most popular fund was the iShares S&P 500 Index
Fund (NYSEArca:IVV), which pulled in $1.41 billion. Interestingly,
last week's least popular fund was the broadly similar SPDR S&P
500 ETF (NYSEArca:SPY). The highly liquid SPY, which is often used
for hedging and equitizing of cash, suffered redemptions of $1.16
billion.
Gold was also a popular investment in the past week, with the
SPDR Gold Shares (NYSEArca:GLD), the world's biggest bullion ETF,
recording inflows of $728 million, lifting total assets to more
than $76.8 billion.
The iShares Gold Trust (NYSEArca:IAU) meanwhile pulled in almost
$275 million in fresh assets, a 2.4 percent jump that lifted assets
in the physical gold fund to nearly $11.8 billion.
