With a plunge late Tuesday, the three major indexes of U. S. stocks ended February with a collective decline. The successive strengthening of inflation data at the beginning of this year severely eroded the confidence expressed by the market bulls in the "January market".

Despite the poor performance of US stocks in February, the strong attraction of ETF has become a bright landscape in a weak market. It can be seen that in the face of uncertainty, investors are more concerned about adding defensive assets to their portfolio.

According to Factset data,$Vanguard Value ETF (VTV.US)$The capital inflow led, with a cumulative net inflow of about $2.693 billion for the month. Secondly, European ETF$Jpmorgan Betabuilders Europe Etf (BBEU.US)$、$JPMorgan Equity Premium Income ActiveETF (JEPI.AU)$、$Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO.US)$The net inflow of ETF funds was obvious, with net inflows of US $2.209 billion, US $2.024 billion and US $1.803 billion respectively.

ETF, the European stock, is coming back to life, and amid growing signs that interest rates will remain high for longer, the European market, which is dominated by financial stocks, is more attractive than the US market, which is full of highly valued technology stocks. According to Deutsche Bank, European equities had the smallest outflows in major economic markets last week, at $100m, while the US had the largest outflows at $9.1 billion.

In addition, defensive products$Schwab US Dividend Equity ETF (SCHD.US)$和$Pacer Us Cash Cows 100 Etf (COWZ.US)$It is also sought after by funds.
