Investors have poured more than $100 billion into exchange-traded funds every month for 14 consecutive months, a streak, Bloomberg ETF ******* yst Eric Balchunas says, would have been almost unthinkable just a few years ago.
"ETFs have taken in over $100b for 14 straight months," Balchunas said on Thursday, citing a chart shared by fellow Bloomberg ETF ******* yst Athanasios Psarofagis. "Prior to this streak, a $100b month had happened ONE TIME EVER."
The chart shows how quickly the milestone has gone from an anomaly to routine.
According to Balchunas, the previous $100 billion month occurred roughly two-and-a-half years before the current streak began.
The surge comes as ETFs take a growing share of investor portfolios. Global ETF ******* ets reached a record $23.08 trillion at the end of May, after attracting $1.07 trillion in net inflows during the first five months of 2026, according to ETFGI.
