Investors poured $1.08 billion into the iShares Russell 2000 Index Fund (IWM - News) yesterday, making it No. 1 on IndexUniverse’s “Top Creations” list. Stocks rose amid hopes for fresh stimulus from the Federal Reserve in the wake of ongoing eurozone-related turmoil.
IWM was followed by $366.4 million of inflows into the SPDR S'P 500 ETF (SPY - News) as the world’s biggest ETF recouped some of the assets it lost Monday.
Overall, net inflows amounted to more than $2.58 billion and total assets rose to just over $1.181 trillion from $1.169 trillion on Monday, June 18, according to data compiled by IndexUniverse.
Markets overall appear to be moving away from the fears that came after the results of Greece’s elections on Sunday and instead have begun stabilizing as they wait for the outcome of the Fed’s two-day meeting. Some hope it will end with commitments to another round of quantitative easing to help protect the U.S. from the eurozone debt crisis.
The Dow Jones industrial average reflected this, climbing 95.51 points, or 0.75 percent, yesterday to close the day at 12,837.33.
Redemptions
The SPDR S'P MidCap 400 ETF (MDY - News) topped IndexUniverse’s outflows list, as investors pulled more than $187.6 million from the fund. MDY’s assets ended the day at just over $9.4 trillion.
Treasury bond ETFs held most of the spots on the outflows list, led by iShares Barclays 1-3 Year Treasury Bond Fund (SHY - News), which bled close to $76 million.
Holding the No. 2 spot was the SPDR S'P Retail ETF (XRT - News), which suffered almost $97.2 million, or nearly 10 percent of its assets as of the start of the day.
