How to read it

How these lists are built ↓

Measure

Net flow: money in less money out over the week's trading days. The week's total keeps round trips; each list leaves a fund's round trip aside. Share of net assets at the close of Oct 16, 2026 beside it. From daily shares outstanding times the previous day's NAV.

Coverage

2,261 funds with daily data for the whole week. They hold $9.1tn, 58% of US ETF assets, the $15.7tn net assets of the 4,800 ETFs ETFIQ covers (aum.json, Oct 24, 2026). 2,325 funds with monthly data only, Vanguard’s among them, are in none of it.

Year to date

Filed basis, from SEC Form N-PORT filings, Jan to Jun 2026: +$524.9bn across 3,131 ETFs holding $9.5tn, about 60% of US ETF assets. Daily basis, from issuers' daily data, Jan 2 to Oct 23: +$466.5bn across 713 ETFs holding $6.8tn, about 43% of US ETF assets. The two cover different ETFs and months, so they are not added.

Each is in the top 1% of the fund's own last 250 trading days, round trips left out.

Round trips

4 ETFs had a creation undone within days, −$1.3bn in all, left aside in every ranking and total here. Largest: FOCT −$1.1bn; GOCT −$204m; XPAY −$674k.

Rank change

Against the week before, Oct 12 to 16, 2026. "new" means in none of that week's ranking on the same side; "·" means ranked below the 0 funds that week listed.
