SDY (SDY)

The SDY ETF received a significant $1.8 billion inflow at the end of July, leading to questions about a potential rotation from growth to dividend stocks. However, this inflow coincided with a scheduled quarterly index reweighting for SDY, and QQQM, which tracks the same Nasdaq-100 as QQQ, also attracted substantial inflows, complicating the narrative. The article suggests that the activity is more indicative of product-level repositioning and month-end actions rather than a confirmed broad rotation into dividend ETFs.
