FYI: Exchange-traded funds, which have hit record after record in terms of assets and adoption in 2017, can add another milestone to the list.
Easily shattering the move that occurred over all of 2016, year-to-date flows into bond ETFs topped $100 billion this week. This is the first time that bond ETFs have broken the 12-digit barrier in a single calendar year, and they did it with three months to spare.
Over the past week, $2.6 billion has flowed into the category, bringing their 2017 total to $101.9 billion, per FactSet data
