ETF Fund Flows: LQD Adds $196.8 Million

Investors plowed $196.8 million into the iShares iBoxx Investment Grade Corporate Bond Fund (LQD - News), making it No. 2 on IndexUniverse’s “Top 10 Creations” list. Stocks were down on concerns about Greece’s debt crisis and the potential for financial contagion.

Net flows were $1.10 billion; however, falling stocks pulled total assets under management down to $1.137 trillion from $1.150 trillion on Tuesday, May 29.

The Dow Jones industrial average was down 160. 83 points, or 1.3 percent, to close at 12,419.86. Stocks fell as investors grew increasingly concerned about Greece and apprehension about Italy and Spain was reflected in rising bond yields in those countries. The S'P 500 dropped 19.10 points, or 1.4 percent, to close at 1,313.36.

The No. 1 fund on IndexUniverse’s top 10 creations list was the PowerShares QQQ Trust (QQQ - News), which had $364.6 million in inflows. The No. 3 fund on the creations list was the Financial Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLF - News), which pulled in $177.3 million in inflows.
