ETFs Add $210B in June as Industry Tops $1 Trillion Flows
ETF industry recorded $1 trillion in net inflows by mid-June and held $1.04 trillion in assets at midyear, with nearly $210 billion added in June.
The global ETF industry recorded $1 trillion in net inflows by mid-June and held $1.04 trillion in assets at the midyear point, with nearly $210 billion of net inflows in June alone. The figures follow a year in which ETF flows reached about $1.5 trillion.
Core equity ETFs attracted the largest share of June flows, led by the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO). VOO briefly exceeded $1 trillion in assets during the month before slipping below that level at month end. Vanguard surpassed BlackRock’s iShares to become the largest U.S. ETF provider for part of June.
Index-provider consolidation featured a notable agreement in June when VettaFi moved to acquire RAFI Indices from Research Affiliates. The transaction raises VettaFi’s indexed asset base to more than $260 billion and brings the fundamental indexing methods developed by Rob Arnott into VettaFi’s platform. RAFI-based indexes underpin funds such as the $26 billion Schwab Fundamental U.S. Large Company Index ETF (FNDX) and the $10 billion Invesco RAFI 1000 ETF (PRF).
Two ETFs reached multi-year scale in June. The VictoryShares Free Cash Flow ETF (VFLO) climbed to about $8 billion in assets and the T. Rowe Price Capital Appreciation Equity ETF (TCAF) passed $7 billion; both funds launched three years earlier.
Issuers introduced 214 new ETFs in June. Corgi Funds accounted for 95 of those launches, rolling out a suite of 2x daily leveraged and buffered ETFs developed with an AI-driven process. The Defiance Autism Impact ETF (ASD) began trading with a commitment to support autism-focused charities for its first two years. More than 10 leveraged single-stock ETFs tied to investor demand for SpaceX also started trading.
For context, total ETF flows in 2025 were about $1.5 trillion. By mid-June 2026, the industry reported $1 trillion in net inflows and $1.04 trillion in assets.
VettaFi is the index provider for VFLO and ASD and receives an index licensing fee for those indexes. VFLO and ASD are not issued, sponsored, endorsed, or sold by VettaFi, and VettaFi has no obligation in the issuance, administration, marketing, or trading of those ETFs.
