Exchange traded funds (ETFs) operate similarly to stocks. However, instead of “shares,” investors buy and sell “units.” These units can be adjusted based on investor demand. Our weekly analysis tracks changes in shares outstanding to identify ETFs with significant inflows (new units created) or outflows (old units destroyed). Creating new units requires purchasing the underlying assets, while destroying units involves selling those components. As a result, substantial flows can influence the ETF’s underlying investments.
