The U.S.-listed ETF industry added just shy of a net $20 billion in new assets between Oct. 29 and Nov. 4, as the leading equity indexes continue to break new highs.

The decline from last week' s $26 billion in inflows was primarily due to flows into U.S. equity funds falling by approximately $8 billion, and was partially offset by an additional $1 billion coming into international equity ETFs.

The Federal Reserve signaled the winding down of its pandemic-era program of buying $120 billion per month in corporate bonds and mortgage-backed securities well in advance of the announcement after its meeting this week, andmarkets were unfazed.

The broad market funds continued to dominate inflows on the week, with the $SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY.US)$leading, with $3.6 billion added. Following behind were the $iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV.US)$, the $Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF (VTI.US)$, the $Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF (VTI.US)$, and the $Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO.US)$.
