Vanguard led the US industry in ETF flows last month, lifted by strong sales for both stock and bond products.

The firm took in $24.2bn in August, nearly four times as much as iShares, its closest competitor, which attracted just $6.2bn, according to data from Morningstar.

Vanguard’s S&P 500 ETF logged the industry’s second-best flows, at $3.6bn, behind State Street Global Advisors’ Financial Select Sector SPDR ETF’s $3.8bn.

Three Vanguard bond ETFs came next: the Total Bond Market ETF, with $2.6bn; Short-Term Corporate Bond ETF, with $2.6bn; and Total Stock Market ETF, which ranked fifth, at $2.6bn.

Charles Schwab had the third-best flows, with $3bn, followed by Dimensional Fund Advisors with $1.9bn; SSGA with $1.8bn; and First Trust, with $1.7bn.
