ETF Flows Smash Records in the First Half of 2026. Is It Time to Invest?
ETF flows have been staggering so far this year. Here's what's expected to happen next.
Overview
Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are on pace for a record-breaking year, with investments pouring in at a historic rate. Equity and bond ETFs together raked in nearly $1 trillion in the first half of 2026, marking the first time they've reached that threshold so early in the year. Forecasts project the total invested will reach about $2.3 trillion in 2026, smashing the 2025 record of roughly $1.5 trillion.
In June alone, passive and actively managed accounts led to a $210 billion inflow into U.S.-listed ETFs, underscoring the strength of demand. This is as the broader markets contend with rate uncertainty and geopolitical issues.
