Should You Follow the Crowd? Maybe With This Big-Picture Trade.
Overview
Through the first five months of the year, roughly $836 billion of cash has been invested in exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Vanguard Total International Stock Index ETF (NASDAQ: VXUS) was the fifth-largest beneficiary of that cash, but there's an important twist here. Normally, following the crowd is a risky approach, but in this situation, you may want to consider doing it.
Of the cash flowing into ETFs so far in 2026, the three with the largest inflows are all broad-based U.S. equity ETFs, two of which track the S&P 500 index. Number four is a short-term bond ETF, which is basically just a step above cash. Which makes number five, Vanguard Total International Stock Index ETF, stand out.
