Wednesday, October 1, 2025 Thanks to ETFs, Inflows Jump By $18B Industry inflows nearly tripled last week (after quintupling the week before), thanks to a rising flows into exchange-traded funds, according to the latest data from the folks at a mutual fund industry trade group. Yesterday, the Investment Company Institute (ICI) team reported that an estimated $29.446 billion net flowed into ETFs and long-term, open-end mutual funds for the week ended September 24. (Money-market funds and funds-of-funds, as well as other asset management products like CITs and separate accounts, are not included.) That's an $18.245-billion net flows jump week-over-week from the week ended on September 17*, and it extends the industry's inflows streak to seven weeks. Traditional, long-term, open-end mutual funds suffered an estimated $15.009 billion in net outflows for week ended September 17, according to the ICI folks, down by $2.357 billion W/W. Meanwhile, ETFs brought in an estimated $44.455 billion in net inflows last week, up by $15.888 billion W/W. Fixed income dominated industry inflows yet again last week. Per ICI's data, $22 billion net flowed into bond funds and ETFs in the week ended September 24, up by $3.284 billion W/W. $21.031 billion of that (up by $4.406 billion W/) flowed into taxable bond funds and ETFs, while $969 million (down by $1.123 billion W/W) flowed into municipal bond funds and muni ETFs. Commodity funds (well, ETFs) brought in an estimated $4.658 billion in net inflows for the week ended September 24. That's up by $3.854 billion W/W. Equity funds and ETFs brought in an estimated $4.017 billion in net inflows for the week ended September 24, up by $11.996 billion W/W. Domestic equity funds and ETFs accounted for $3.666 billion of that (up by $14.548 billion W/W), while world equity funds and ETFs brought in the remaining $351 million (down by $2.552 billion W/W). Yet one major fund category still had a rough time last week. Hybrid funds and ETFs suffered an estimated $1.229 billion in net outflows for the week ended September 24. That's up by $888 million W/W. *Editor's Note: The ICI folks note that they also revise the past weeks' flows data "because of adjustments, reclassifications, and changes in the number of funds reporting." Thus, the week-to-week flows changes may not quite line up perfectly with the numbers in MFWire's coverage of prior weeks' flows.
