ETF Fund Flows: GLD Adds $135.3 Million

Investors put $135.3 million back into GLD on Wednesday, May 23, as total ETF assets dip to about $1.131 trillion.

Investors shoveled $135.3 million back into the SPDR Gold Shares (GLD - News), only a day after it suffered $891.0 million in outflows. Despite a late-day rally, stocks were mostly down as eurozone leaders prepared for a possible Greek exit.

Net outflows were $1.05 billion and total assets under management dropped to about $1.131 trillion from about $1.137 trillion on Tuesday, May 22.

The Dow Jones industrial average fell 6.66 points, or 0.05 percent, to close at 12,496.15. Although materials stocks helped the market retrace most of its sharp early-session losses, stocks were mostly down due to continuing concerns over the financial stability of the eurozone. The S'P 500 rose 2.23 points to close at 1,318.86.

The No. 2 fund on the creations list was the Vanguard Extended Market ETF (VXF - News), which had inflows of $132.2 million. The No. 3 fund on the list was the SPDR S'P Homebuilders ETF (XHB - News), which had inflows of $112.8 million.

U.S.-focused fixed-income ETFs had inflows of $323.1 million.

Redemptions

Investors pulled almost $1.41 billion from the Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLE - News), making it No. 1 on IndexUniverse’s “Top 10 Redemptions” list.

The No. 2 fund on the redemptions list was the iShares Russell 2000 Index Fund (IWM - News), which had outflows of $195.0 million.

The No. 3 fund on the list was the SPDR S'P MidCap 400 ETF (MDY - News), which had outflows of $85.0 million.
