Over the past seven days, notable ETF flows included $VGT (Technology) with $3.2 billion inflows, $VOO (S&P 500) with $2.3 billion inflows, and $IWM with $1.2 billion inflows, contrasted by outflows from $QQQ (-$4.8 billion) and $ARKK (-$1.1 billion). In July, investors reallocated sharply, withdrawing $270 billion from equity strategies, including a $212 billion retreat from S&P 500 mutual funds, though core equity ETFs still attracted nearly $19 billion in new assets.
