![Understanding Investor Preferences through Passive Investment Flows](https://stoxx.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/red-brick-wave-absctract-intro-900x350.jpg)
In this paper, we use the transparency afforded by ETFs to analyze investor flows, but also look through to the underlying holdings, to understand the time-varying preferences of passive investors.

This is in contrast to a consistent preference for performance, reflected by flows going towards ETFs with strong in-year returns.
