ETF assets soared in the previous 2 weeks in a strengthening
market that was coupled with strong investor interest in ETFs.
The iShares continued their recent boom, with all of the top
iShares funds enjoying significant gains. iShare's breakthrough
35 bp (0.35% expense ratio) EAFE fund (EFA)
also continued to surge toward the top 10, nearing a half billion
dollars in assets and coming in at 14th. The iShares Russell 3000
fund grew by 50% over the past two weeks. The strong move into
Total Market ETFs (driven largely by institutional interest) also
continued to benefit the Total Stock Market VIPERs. After less
than 6 months of existance, the Total Market VIPERs established
its place in the top 10.
