FYI: With only two trading sessions unaccounted for, ETFs are on track to collect their second-largest annual inflow ever in 2018. Following this week’s $2.5 worth of inflows, the year-to-date inflows total for U.S.-listed ETFs rose to $309 billion, second only to 2017’s $476.1 billion haul.
In impressive fashion, ETFs had strong inflows throughout December, even as the U.S. stock market tumbled relentlessly. The S&P 500 briefly fell 20% below its all-time highs, spooked by global growth concerns spurred on by the U.S.-China trade war, Brexit and Fed rate hikes.
