VettaFi Sees ETF Inflows Near $900 Billion as Advisors Shift Toward Income and Risk Management
3 articles · Updated · ETF Trends · Jun 9
Summary
$900 billion has already flowed into ETFs this year, putting the market on pace for a $2 trillion inflow year, VettaFi said in a sentiment check of advisors and retail investors.
Advisor surveys showed portfolio priorities shifting from pure growth toward risk management, income generation and closer attention to macro conditions, even as the S&P 500 nears records and consumer sentiment stays weak.
AI still drew strong interest, especially in infrastructure and energy tied to the buildout; semiconductor ETFs SMH and SOXX have gathered more than $8.5 billion combined this year.
Income demand remained broad across cash-like and higher-yield products: SGOV has taken in $25 billion, IQMM $21 billion, CLO ETFs nearly $10 billion, and JEPI and JEPQ more than $9.7 billion combined.
That positioning reflects expectations the Fed will hold rates steady next week with 96% odds, while sticky inflation and geopolitical risks keep investors cautious about leaving too much in cash.
