US-listed ETF inflows hit $1 trillion in H1 2026

US-listed exchange-traded funds attracted over $1 trillion in net investor inflows in the first half of 2026, according to the US-listed ETF Flash Flows report from State Street Investment Management. The data cover net new money into funds listed in the United States for the January–June period.

If inflows continue at the same pace through the second half of the year, total net inflows for 2026 would surpass the industry high of $1.5 trillion set in 2025. The State Street flash report provides a midpoint snapshot of investor allocations through June.

Low-cost ETFs accounted for nearly half of year-to-date flows, taking 49% of new money into US-listed ETFs. Fixed income funds led by dollar volume, with bond ETFs drawing roughly $300 billion in the first six months.

Among equity strategies, technology sector ETFs received about $44 billion in inflows during the period. Emerging market ETFs attracted $38 billion year-to-date, exceeding the full-year emerging market inflows of $35 billion recorded in 2025.

Style flows shifted in June, with value-oriented ETFs taking in $13 billion for the month. That pushed value ahead of growth on a year-to-date basis, the report shows.

The flash data include net investor purchases across a wide range of ETF categories listed in the United States and cover both passive index funds and actively managed ETFs. The report is intended as a timely view of where capital is flowing within the US-listed ETF market through mid-2026.
