BlackRock’s Most Profitable ETF Nears $100 Billion Mark

A New Milestone for Passive Investing

BlackRock’s flagship iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV) is now just $1.2 billion shy of the $100 billion milestone, making it one of the firm’s most profitable funds. The surge underscores record demand for low-cost passive exposure as global markets recover.

Market Context and Investor Trends

ETF data shows that IVV attracted $9.5 billion in new inflows this quarter alone, with expense ratios as low as 0.03%. Investors continue shifting away from mutual funds toward ETFs amid persistent fee compression and macro uncertainty.

Institutional Demand and Future Growth

Institutional adoption remains strong, particularly from pension funds and sovereign wealth portfolios. Analysts expect IVV’s AUM to surpass $100B within weeks, marking a new chapter for passive equity management.
