Investors poured another $1.37 billion into U.S. equities on Monday, as stocks rose for their third day in a row, pushing the Dow Jones industrial average back into the black for 2010, according to data compiled by IndexUniverse.com.

The iShares Russell 2000 ETF (NYSEArca: IWM), a popular small-cap ETF, gathered $578.6 million, a bit more than last Friday, while the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (NYSEArca: SPY) added $385.2 million on top of the $3.18 billion in SPY creations in last week’s final session. The Industrial Select Sector SPDR (NYSEArca: XLI) was third in inflows, with $139.2 million in new creations yesterday.

Three equity ETFs also topped IndexUniverse.com’s redemptions lists, though the amounts were considerably lower than the creations. The iShares Russell 1000 Growth ETF (NYSEArca: IWF), the Energy Select Sector SPDR (NYSEArca: XLE) and the SPDR S&P Oil & Gas Exploration & Production ETF (NYSEArca: XOP) had $72 million, $57 million and $56 million in redemptions, respectively.

Total assets in the 1,000-plus U.S. ETFs now listed in the U.S. were $834.62 billion, an increase of almost 1 percent over the prior-day figure that reflected $1.60 billion in total creations plus the market’s upward movement.

The Dow Jones industrial average rose 100.81, or 0.97 percent, on Monday to close at 10,525.43.

Despite thin trading, the fact that IWM, the Russell 2000 small-cap ETF, topped IndexUniverse.com’s creations list reflected a return of risk appetite among investors. The Russell 2000 Index rose 2.2 percent yesterday.
