Innovator [profile] brought in $1.292 billion in net inflows in the second quarter of 2022, a spokesperson for the company confirms. That surpasses their prior record, from Q1, of just under $1 billion, and brings the Wheaton, Illinois-based firm's 2022 year-to-date inflows to $2.231 billion. As of yesterday, the firm had $7.761 billion in total AUM, so 2022 inflows account for about 29 percent of its total AUM!

That Q2 2022 growth includes Innovator's biggest month ever, May 2022, in which the firm brought in $581 million in net inflows. And last Thursday, June 30 (the last day of Q2) was the firm's fourth highest inflows day ever, with $96.5 million flowing in. (Thursday's trading volume in the firm's ETFs also reached 9.572 million shares, a new record for Innovator.)

Innovator, known for its Defined Outcome ETFs, now offers a total of 87 funds and has a team of 36 full-time employees. Word is that the firm's investor base so far is largely RIAs; Innovator's ETFs landed on their first major national B-D platform, Raymond James, in late February of this year.
