American investors have paid $ 437 billion into the ETFs so far in 2025, establishing a pace of blisters that shows no signs of slowdown. This flow of capital has come despite some of the most chaotic market conditions since the peak of the panic of the era to lust.
According toThe Wall Street JournalETF entries are already on the right track to break records for the second consecutive year, especially if the current tempo continues during the summer and fall, as it has done in recent years.
This year's push is not only a slow gap of the common funds, although it also continues. What is different is how investors use volatility itself as a green light.
When American actions began to bounce violently, people did not withdraw. They doubled, more heavier on domestic active ingredients and almost entirely through ETF.
Vanguard's Voo takes $ 65 billion while volatility pea
The ETF vacuum cleaner this year is the S&P 500 ETF of Vanguard, known by Ticker Voo, which has already absorbed $ 65 billion in net entries. This puts ahead of all the other funds in the country.
Voo is now the largest ETF in the world by assets, exceeding its own record transport in 2024 of $ 116 billion. If the current momentum is maintained, it will again strike this figure by October.
Voo's moment of escape occurred in April, when market volatility increased to a five -year summit. At the same time, the fund recorded its highest monthly entries. Greg Davis, Vanguard investment director, explain Behavior by pointing investors' cash reserves:
“During this period of tumult at the beginning of April, we saw a purchase / sale ratio of 5 to 1.. Investors have a huge sum of money seated on the sidelines and they know that if things are on sale, it is time to put money at work.”
Investors were responsible for equity funds, bond funds, passive trackers and active strategies. And for the first time, the FNBs actively managed attract serious attention. They attracted 30% of all FNB entries in 2025, even if they represent only less than 10% of the FNB market.
Short -term bond funds are raating billions of prudent investors
Not everyone plunges the first in the actions. The FNB of the Treasury bonds from 0 to 3 months of Blackrock has drawn $ 17 billion this year, making it the second most popular ETF of 2025 so far. The fund pays a monitoring return of 4.7%, offering what looks like a safe parking space with real yields. A similar fund of State Street is also classified in the Top 10.
Todd Rosenbluth, research manager in Vettafi, sees a defensive trend among bond buyers.
“We see a certain defensive on the fixed income side,” he said. “With several short -term cash products in the top 10, it is a sign that investors are happy to be paid to wait.”
But while short -term bond funds draw billions, the FNBs in shares still dominate global flows. The other names in the ETF ranking include the own S&P 500 Fund from State Street, the total stock market funds and growth in Vanguard shares and two NASDAQ-100 funds from Invesco.
The actively managed action fund of JPMorgan, which uses options to reduce volatility and stimulate dividend payments, also made the top 10. Analysts have nicknamed this type of “Boomer Candy” fund because of their appeal to older investors. But the request does not slow down. JPMorgan relies on a solid 2024 and transports this energy this year.
Large actors like Fidelity also grow in active ETFs. Meanwhile, Larry Fink, the CEO of Blackrock, made the headlines of the Saudi-US Investment Forum in Riyadh when he underlined a giant heap of unused on the sidelines.
“In the United States, there are 11 billions of dollars sitting in money market funds,” said Larry. “When there is uncertainty, you will keep more money in cash and that's what we have seen.”
All this feeds even more ETF innovation. Dozens of fund managers have already deposited with the SEC to create ETF sharing classes from their current investment funds. This would allow them to continue using the same investment strategy, but in a cheaper and more flexible format. And it grows quickly.
Mark Uyeda, SECURITIES Commissioner and Exchange Commission, said that he had already asked his staff to prioritize these requests. The initiates of the industry expect official approval could occur before the end of 2025.
