watch nowDespite a sluggish start to the year, a record number of product launches and a red-hot November have put 2023 back on pace to be a solid year for ETFs. Roughly $1 trillion has gone into money market funds this year, but some are questioning whether the solid year-end stock rally will attract some of those flows back into equities. "You saw that enormous cash pileup going into money markets, and ETF flows were muted. "We talked about the money market funds," he said. He pointed to strong inflows into high-yield ETFs such as the iShares iBoxx $ High Yield Corporate Bond ETF (HYG) and SPDR Bloomberg High Yield Bond ETF (JNK) and SPDR Bloomberg Short Term High Yield Bond ETF (SJNK) — along with dividend ETFs such as the Pacer U.S. Cash Cows 100 ETF (COWZ).

The higher-for-longer rate path outlined by the Federal Reserve this past week could mean a delayed recovery for small caps and international stocks. Small cap and international stocks are sorely lagging this year. While the S & P 500 remains higher on the year by more than 12%, the S & P Small Cap 600 is down 1%. "Should we see a turnaround in small and international stocks, then these would likely benefit, but also hold up better if that recovery is delayed," Stovall said. He added, "In a sense you're holding the bluest of blue-chip stocks on a global basis, or the strongest of small cap stocks."

A popular ETF focused on cash flow is finding its footing again after lagging the broader market in the first half of 2023. The Pacer U.S. Cash Cows ETF (COWZ) has set several recent highs over the past two weeks, including closing at a record $51.49 per share on Wednesday. The index consists of Russell 1000 stocks with the best free cash flow yield. "The rebalance every 90 day is sort of the key because it keeps the focus on the most current free cash flow yield, and the names with the highest free cash flow yield. "When you focus on high free cash flow yield names, you actually end up owning companies who grow their earnings faster than their index," he added.
