Even though the market remains relatively solid for 2018, exchange-traded funds continue to suffer. U.S.-listed ETFs posted net monthly outflows in June for a third month in 2018, according to the latest U.S. ETF Flash Flow report from State Street Global Advisors.
This is the greatest number of months with outflows in any year since 2008, and we are only halfway through 2018, the report says. If the year has just one more month of net outflows, 2018 would tie the record of four such months, reached a few times in the late nineties.
According to the report, international and emerging market funds have been hurt the worst, registering their largest back-to-back months of outflows since the start of 2016. International equities saw outflows totaling $3.3 and $9.9 billion in May and June, respectively.
