ETF investors appear to be taking more defensive positions in their portfolios as market volatility, geopolitical instability and inflationary concerns continue to roil markets. Flows into ETFs in defensive sectors have surged and, conversely, cyclical sector ETFs have witnessed a strong sell-off.
Consumer Staples ETFs were among the most bought this week with $445 Million of new inflows, Utilities ETFs saw $304 of new money and HealthCare ETFs picked up $186 Million. Gold ETFs (often considered a safe space for investors when volatility strikes) picked up $277 million of flows this week.
