According to the ETFGI report for June 2026, the global ETF industry ended the month with assets under management at a new record of $23.09 trillion and year-to-date net inflows of $1.33 trillion, the highest figure ever recorded for a first half of the year. The figures were released on 15 July 2026 by the London-based independent research firm. In June alone, global net inflows totalled $258.79 billion. June also marks the 85th consecutive month of positive net flows.
Assets under management hit a record $23.09 trillion
At the end of June 2026, assets under management in the global ETF industry reached a record $23.09 trillion (equivalent to 23,090 billion), surpassing the previous record of $23.08 trillion recorded at the end of May.
Since the start of the year, assets under management have grown by 16.3 per cent, rising from 19.84 trillion at the end of 2025 to the current 23.09 trillion.
ETF net inflows: 1.33 trillion in the first half of the year
In June, ETFs globally attracted $258.79 billion in net inflows. This brings net inflows since the start of the year to $1.33 trillion, an all-time high.
This figure exceeds the previous record of $897.34 billion set in 2025 and remains well above the $730.18 billion raised during the same period in 2024.
Commenting on market performance during the month, Deborah Fuhr, Managing Partner, founder and owner of ETFGI, said:
“Global equity markets experienced mixed performance in June. The S&P 500 declined 0.95% during the month but remained up 10.21% year-to-date in 2026. Developed markets excluding the US fell 0.91% in June, bringing their year-to-date gain to 14.28%. Among developed markets, Luxembourg and Israel posted the largest declines during the month, falling 14.45% and 11.93%, respectively. Emerging markets declined 1.50% in June but remained up 9.77% year-to-date. Indonesia and the Czech Republic recorded the largest declines among emerging markets during the month, falling 8.64% and 6.03%, respectively,”
Inflows by asset class
Equity ETFs led the way in terms of inflows, with net inflows of $123.13 billion for the month. Since the start of the year, they have attracted $542.01 billion, a figure significantly higher than the $388.44 billion recorded over the same period in 2025.
Bond ETFs attracted $54.26 billion in June, bringing year-to-date inflows to $272.67 billion. This figure is well above the $180.71 billion recorded at the end of June 2025.
Commodity ETFs recorded net outflows of 9.91 billion in June. The segment remains in positive territory year-to-date, with net inflows of 11.53 billion, but this figure is much lower than the 41.85 billion raised in the first half of 2025. The decline indicates weaker demand for commodity exposure in 2026.
Actively managed ETFs continued their rapid growth, with inflows of 89.13 billion in June and 500.88 billion year-to-date. This compares with 266.48 billion for the same period in 2025.
ETFs with the highest inflows in June
The top 20 ETFs by net inflows attracted a total of 124.70 billion dollars in June. The iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV US) alone attracted 43.79 billion.
Among ETPs (Exchange Traded Products), the products with the highest net inflows attracted a total of 1.88 billion dollars during the month. The WisdomTree Physical Swiss Gold (SGBS LN) alone attracted 546.25 million.
The structure of the global ETF industry
At the end of June, the global ETF industry comprised 17,404 ETFs, with 33,613 listings and assets under management totalling $23.09 trillion. The products were offered by 1,018 issuers across 85 stock exchanges in 66 countries.
Conclusions
The first half of 2026 closed with a further string of records for the global ETF industry: assets under management of $23.09 trillion and year-to-date net inflows of $1.33 trillion. June marked the 85th consecutive month of positive net flows.
Inflows continue to be driven by equity ETFs and actively managed products, whilst demand for commodities has fallen compared with 2025. The figures confirm the growing adoption of ETFs, underpinned by sustained inflows across various market phases.
