Investors Flock to ETFs Amid Market Turmoil

Investors Flock to ETFs Amid Market Turmoil — What It Tells Us About Shifting Sentiment

U.S. investors have poured a record $437 billion into ETFs so far in 2025, undeterred by market volatility. This marks a continuation of the shift from mutual funds to ETFs due to lower fees, tax advantages, and liquidity. Vanguard’s S&P 500 ETF (VOO) leads inflows, while interest in actively managed ETFs is also surging — capturing 30% of new ETF flows despite being a small fraction of the market. Short-term Treasury ETFs are popular too, signaling defensive positioning. With potential SEC approval of ETF share classes for mutual funds, industry inflows could accelerate even further this year.
