Portfolio Pulse from Piero Cingari
In August 2024, U.S. ETFs attracted $75 billion, significantly boosting year-to-date inflows to over $600 billion. This surge is driven by increased interest in equity, bond, and small-cap ETFs, as investors anticipate Federal Reserve rate cuts. The ETF market is nearing a $10 trillion valuation, with passive ETFs dominating. Notable ETFs with high inflows include Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO), Vanguard Information Tech ETF (VGT), and iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (TLT).
