Understanding ETF Trading Dynamics
Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) function similarly to stocks but involve buying and selling “units” instead of shares. These units can be traded like stocks, and importantly, they can also be created or destroyed based on investor demand. Each week, we analyze changes in shares outstanding to identify ETFs with significant inflows or outflows, indicating investor interest. The creation of new units necessitates purchasing the ETF’s underlying holdings, while the destruction of units usually involves selling those holdings, potentially affecting the individual securities within the ETF.
