Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) operate similarly to stocks, but investors trade “units” instead of “shares.” These units can be bought or sold like stocks, but they can also be created or redeemed based on investor demand. Monitoring changes in outstanding shares weekly allows us to pinpoint ETFs that experience significant inflows or outflows. When new units are created, the ETF must purchase the underlying holdings, while a decrease in units requires selling those holdings. Consequently, large inflows or outflows impact the assets held within the ETFs.
