A Record-Shattering $1 Trillion Poured Into ETFs This Year
December 30, 2024 -Assets in U.S. exchange-traded funds grew by more than 30% in 2024
Investors plowed more than $1 trillion into U.S.-based exchange-traded funds in 2024, shattering the previous record set three years ago and raising Wall Street hopes for an even bigger year ahead.
The rebound from last year's lackluster flows marked a broad embrace of U.S. assets in a year in which the S&P 500 gained around 25%, analysts said. Longer-term trends also played a role as investors extended a yearslong practice of swapping their mutual funds for the greater tax advantages and easy trading of ETFs.
