Flow figures are compiled from dated monthly fund-flow reports - State Street Investment Management's "US-Listed ETF Flash Flows" (Bloomberg data), the World Gold Council and an independent daily crypto-ETF flow tracker - as of the date shown on each card. The sector-rotation table is live from the SPDR sector ETFs (XLK, XLF, XLE, XLV, XLY, XLP, XLI, XLB, XLU, XLRE, XLC) versus SPY for the S&P 500: every column is a total return (computed from ten years of daily dividend-adjusted closes) - trailing windows from 1 day to 6 months, year-to-date, and cumulative 1, 3, 5 and 10 years. "--" means the fund is younger than the window (XLRE launched in 2015, XLC in 2018). Sectors beating SPY are gaining leadership. The table re-pulls itself every few minutes; market data may be briefly delayed.
About this page
Where money is actually moving: ETF flows by asset class, US sector flows, country-level equity flows, and alternative flows across crypto funds, venture capital, private credit and foreign holdings of Treasuries, each drawn from primary-source reports with their as-of dates shown.
Flows are better at explaining the recent past than predicting the future: money famously chases performance, arriving after rallies and leaving after crashes. The contrarian read is at the extremes, where record one-directional flows have often marked exhaustion rather than the beginning of a trend.
Frequently asked questions
Do fund flows predict returns?
Mostly no; the evidence says flows follow returns. Extremes are the exception: capitulation outflows near bottoms and euphoric inflows near tops have been decent contrary indicators.
Why do foreign Treasury holdings matter?
Foreign official buyers absorb a meaningful share of US government borrowing. Sustained shifts in that appetite affect yields, the dollar and the fiscal arithmetic behind both.
