Notes: Weekly ETF net issuance are estimates that represent industry totals. Actual net issuance data are collected on a monthly basis and are reported in ICI’s “Monthly Exchange-Traded Fund Data”; therefore, there are differences between these weekly estimates and the monthly net issuance. Data[1] for previous weeks may reflect revisions because of data adjustments, reclassifications, and changes in the number of ETFs[2] reporting. Historical flow data are available on the ICI website.
