Computed by ETFIQ from State Street’s daily data: each day’s change in shares outstanding times the previous day’s net asset value. Round trips: $1.8bn came in on Jul 30, 2026 and $1.7bn went out on Aug 3, 2026. A creation undone within days moves money in and straight back out, so it says little about what investors wanted. Both days stay in every total and are marked in the tables and the drawings.
How this is computed
Percentages are of net assets at the start of each window. Numbers are net: money in less money out. Checked against the filing: The month’s daily sum and the filing’s B.6 number agree within rounding or, where the filing’s is larger, within rounding plus the fund’s creation and redemption fees. The full rule is in the fund’s flows file. Every day and month ETFIQ holds for SDY, back to Jul 2019, is in its flows file.
