Investors allocated $26.3 billion to U.S.-listed exchange-traded funds in November, with the majority of the inflows landing in U.S. equity funds, ETF.com reported Monday.
Asset gathering by U.S.-listed funds this year totals more than $201 billion, putting it on track to reach last year's record of $243 billion.
The report noted that in recent months, appetite for U.S. stock exposure has been strong among ETF investors even though the S&P 500 has gained only 1% year to date.
It said concerns about the global economy — renewed after the Paris massacre last month — sluggish commodities prices and a slowdown in China had likely focused investors on the domestic front.
ETF.com's report said that U.S. fixed-income ETFs flip-flopped from gainers to losers in November, hemorrhaging $433 million in assets after having taken in some $11 billion the month before.
