SPDR S&P 500 ESG ETF Price & Performance (EFIV)

The iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (TLT) has outperformed the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) in 2025, driven by a significant drop in consumer confidence. Investors have shifted towards safer assets like long-term government bonds, as economic uncertainties and potential unemployment loom.1

The global ETF industry reached a record $15.50 trillion in assets by February's end, supported by $152.13 billion in net inflows. This milestone highlights strong investor interest, despite market volatility, as equity ETFs attracted the majority of the inflows during the month.2

US Bancorp DE significantly reduced its holdings in the SPDR S&P 500 ESG ETF (EFIV) by over 90% in Q4 2024. This move reflects broader trends as institutional investors reassess positions in ESG-focused funds amidst fluctuating market conditions.3
