The 20 ETFs with the biggest inflows for April 2024
After their surge in March, ETFs came back down to earth in April.
U.S. exchange-traded funds saw a net inflow of $37.98 billion last month. This is 63% less than in March, when funds raked in a whopping $102.53 billion. In terms of liquidity for investors, this is the smallest asset harvest since August 2023.
Equity-based funds have been particularly hard hit. U.S. stock ETFs earned $13.54 billion, down sharply from $54 billion in March. And stocks in the sector plunged, from a net inflow of $7.89 billion in March to a net outflow of $3.19 billion in April.
Given the month the stock market had, It’s not surprising. In April, the S&P 500 fell 4.2% and the Dow fell 5%, ending a five-month winning streak for both indexes.
But not all ETFs performed poorly last month. The commodities category grew from $127.81 million to more than seven times that amount in April, with a net inflow of $930.89 million. And taxable Bond ETFs remained roughly stable, falling from $15.75 billion in March to $15.13 billion in April.
