JPST Loses $318M as Outflows Pressure Corporate Bond ETFs

Yahoo16-03-2025

The JPMorgan Ultra-Short Income ETF (JPST) experienced outflows of $318.2 million amid continued market volatility, according to etf.com daily fund flows data. The ultra-short bond fund's decline came as investors rotated away from corporate debt exposure.
The Vanguard Short-Term Corporate Bond ETF (VCSH) saw $282.4 million in outflows and iShares iBoxx $ Investment Grade Corporate Bond ETF (LQD) lost $281.1 million. The shift away from corporate debt coincided with the S&P 500 falling into correction territory Thursday, down 10.1% from its February record high.
On the inflows side, the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO) attracted $1.07 billion as investors sought core equity exposure. The iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV) pulled in $894.4 million, while the Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLF) gained $478.4 million.
U.S. fixed-income funds led asset classes with $1.9 billion in inflows, while U.S. equity ETFs gained $792.9 million despite market turbulence. Overall industry flows totaled $3.6 billion, with currency ETFs posting the largest losses at $400.4 million as trade tensions escalated following new tariff threats.

Akre Capital Seeks $12.2B Mutual Fund to ETF Conversion

The investment fund space is poised to see another mutual fund-to-ETF conversion—a growing trend as more asset managers look to take advantage of the structural benefits of funds that trade more like stocks. On Thursday, Akre Capital Management announced that it had proposed the conversion of its Akre Focus Fund to the actively managed Akre Focus ETF (AKRE). If approved by shareholders, the conversion is expected to take place in the fall of 2025, according to a press release. The AKRE Focus fund, which was launched in 2009 and has approximately $12.2 billion in net assets as of May 31, seeks to achieve long-term capital appreciation by selecting companies based on factors related to their business, management and reinvestment. The proposed conversion is expected to provide shareholders with enhanced tax efficiency, increased transparency and lower costs, according to the press release. The fund's prospectus shows that the current expense ratios range from 0.98% to 1.32% depending on share class and that the ETF's proposed unitary fee is 0.98%. In March, Akre Capital applied for an exemption that would allow its mutual fund to offer an ETF share class, but it is no longer pursuing that option. 'In our effort to deliver the significant benefits of the ETF structure to our mutual fund shareholders, we evaluated three options: launching a standalone ETF (clone), converting the mutual fund to an ETF and introducing an ETF share class within the mutual fund,' John Neff, CEO and CIO at Akre Capital explained to in an emailed statement. The firm determined that converting the mutual fund to an ETF would be in the best interest of its shareholders. 'This conversion represents an upgrade to a superior structure,' Neff added. 'In contrast, launching a standalone ETF would offer no benefit to existing shareholders, while introducing an ETF share class could create unnecessary confusion for investors and platforms.' Akre isn't alone in trying to take advantage of the tax advantages, lower expense ratios and intraday tradability ETFs have over their mutual fund counterparts. CFRA Research reports that last year, mutual funds (excluding money market funds) experienced $579 billion worth of net outflows, while $1.1 trillion moved into ETFs. Just last month, the world's largest asset manager, BlackRock, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission to convert the BlackRock GA Disciplined Volatility Equity Fund (BIDVX) and BlackRock GA Dynamic Equity Fund (BIEEX) to | © Copyright 2025 All rights reserved

JPMorgan Said to Allow IBIT as Collateral, Boosting Crypto

JPMorgan Chase will begin accepting cryptocurrency investments, including BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), as collateral for some loans, according to a published report, further legitimizing the biggest cryptocurrency as a mainstream store of wealth. JPMorgan, the biggest U.S. bank, will permit trading and wealth-management clients to put up crypto-linked assets to back some loans, according to unnamed sources cited in a Bloomberg News story. In some cases, crypto will be treated evenly alongside stocks and other assets when evaluating a potential client's creditworthiness, the story said. Such a plan further solidifies mainstream acceptance for Bitcoin, the No. 1 cryptocurrency whose value is backed not by a physical asset but with computer code, scarcity and trust imbued by fans and users. It's also somewhat of an about-face for JPMorgan, which has issued no crypto-supported ETFs and whose CEO, Jamie Dimon, has complained of crypto's potential for fraud and once referred to it as a fad like a 'pet rock.' 'JPM's policy changes regarding Bitcoin are proof that there is so much corporate, sovereign, institutional and retail demand for this new asset class that Bitcoin is now mainstream,' said Ric Edelman, founder of the Digital Assets Council of Financial Professionals and member of the editorial advisory board. Investors are fully embracing IBIT, the world's biggest crypto ETF, which is among the fastest-growing funds, in terms of assets, that's ever been launched. Launched in February 2024, it's among the 25 largest U.S. ETFs, with its $70 billion in assets fueled by $11.2 billion of net inflows and 12% in market gains so far this year. IBIT Fund Flows—Source: Factset Some market gains followed the election of President Donald Trump, whose campaign was financially and vocally supported by crypto enthusiasts. While Trump has fully embraced crypto, his launching of digital coins and Trump Media & Technology Group Corp.'s plan to issue a Bitcoin-linked ETF have raised ethical issues that may dull the glimmer of legitimacy Bitcoin has achieved. 'This certainly adds to the legitimacy of the asset,' Luke Nolan, senior research associate at London-based Coinshares, said in an email. 'A Bitcoin ETF is now being treated much like any other equity/stock, which can be borrowed against. Its place in a 'normal' portfolio is strengthening, and this is an important step for it.'Permalink | © Copyright 2025 All rights reserved Error in retrieving data Sign in to access your portfolio Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data

New 'Animal Spirits' ETF Offers 2x Exposure to Major Stocks

If you believe human emotions drive investment gains and losses, VistaShares may have a new exchange-traded fund for you. On Wednesday, the asset manager launched the VistaShares Animal Spirits 2x Daily Strategy ETF (WILD), which will offer 2x daily exposure to five of the most popular stocks based on their buying momentum and investor sentiment. Adam Patti, CEO of VistaShares, told that he had been intrigued by single-stock leveraged products for over a year before wanting to provide a better option. These types of funds, which trade a single equity and multiply performance with derivatives, have surged in popularity of late despite their risk and volatility. 'Whether you like them or not, investors have a clear use of them to express their views of the market or specific stocks,' Patti said. After speaking to institutions and institutional trading desks about offering high-beta exposure—and how those firms were creating methodologies to package several names together as opposed to taking a bet on one name—VistaShares came up with its own methodology. This involves looking at the universe of the roughly 30 underlying names that have single-stock leveraged ETFs associated with them, then choosing the ones with the most assets deployed against them and the most assets flowing into them. The portfolio composition is adjusted monthly to reflect any changing sentiment around the popular stocks. The five names are equally weighted. 'We're trying to harness investor sentiment and momentum in the marketplace, and go where the money is going,' Patti said. 'If you believe that these wildly successful trading stocks are going up, this is a great way to get that exposure." He added that the fund also lessens the risk of being exposed to a single stock. The VistaShares suite of ETFs also includes the VistaShares Target 15 Berkshire Select Income ETF (OMAH), an active ETF allowing market participants to invest like Warren Buffett and get monthly income potential, and the VistaShares Target 15 USA Quality Income ETF (QUSA), which combines factor-based equity investing with an options overlay designed to generate high monthly income. Just last week, Tidal Trust filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for VistaShares to offer seven ETFs with exposure to the top picks of elite investors such as Michael Burry of Scion Asset Management and Bill Ackman of Pershing Square Holdings. 'What we're trying to do here at VistaShares is create products that don't exist,' Patti said when asked about WILD. That includes leveraging 'institutional-type portfolio construction to fill white space in the market and hopefully provide products that have strong use cases.'Permalink | © Copyright 2025 All rights reserved Error in retrieving data Sign in to access your portfolio Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data
