Investors have plowed money into stock-based exchange-traded funds in historic fashion since last months’s U.S. presidential election, but the sheer size of the move may end up being a warning sign.
According to TrimTabs Investment Research, U.S. stock ETFs have received $97.6 billion in inflows between Nov. 8 and Dec. 15. By itself, that’s about 150% of the $61.5 billion that went into the category over all of 2015.
The buying has been essentially nonstop, with the ETFs only seeing outflows in three sessions since the election, and the inflows comprising about 6.3% of their assets.
