It was another big month for ETFs in February. Equity ETFs picked up some $110 billion in net inflows, according to Factset data. ETFs have continued their ascent in the investment landscape once more, following a strong 2025, so what can be made of that data? ETF Database data shows some interesting takeaways from the top five funds for inflows in February.
Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO)
Leading the way, the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO) pulled in $17 billion for the month. The strategy, often placed in the same tier as the State Street SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) which itself saw outflows, holds a staggering $875 billion in AUM. VOO offers exposures to the S&P 500 for just three basis points (bps).
Invesco S&P 500 Equal Weight ETF (RSP)
The Invesco S&P 500 Equal Weight ETF (RSP) saw some $5.6 billion in net inflows. Charging 20 bps, the strategy tracks the S&P 500 Equal Weighted index, offering an alternative to market cap-weighted approaches to the S&P 500 like that of VOO.
Vanguard Total International Stock ETF (VXUS)
The Vanguard Total International Stock (VXUS) brought in $4.3 billion for February. It charges just five bps to offer exposure to its FTSE Global All Cap x US index. The strategy’s flows may have benefitted from significant appeal among investors for international equities.
Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF (VTI)
The Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF (VTI) charges just three bps for its exposure to the U.S. equity market writ large. VTI tracks the CRSP US Total Market Index, and brought in just under $4 billion for February, at $3.9 billion, per Factset.
iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF (IGV)
The iShares Expanded Tech Software Sector ETF (IGV) rounded out the top five equity ETFs by flows for February. The tech ETF charges 39 bps to track its S&P North American Technology-Software Index, targeting medium cap software firms. It added $3.7 billion in February.
Together, those five equity ETFs reflect some familiar asset manager names, but also a diverse group of equity ETFs overall. For those investors wanting options for different ways to approach domestic, international, and tech stocks, they could be worth examining further.
