Understanding ETF Mechanics

Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) operate similarly to stocks, but investors buy and sell “units.” These units can be exchanged just like shares and can be created or destroyed in response to market demand. Each week, we track changes in shares outstanding to identify ETFs with significant inflows (new units) or outflows (units removed). Creating new units necessitates the purchase of underlying securities, while the removal of units requires selling those holdings. Therefore, considerable flows can affect the individual components within ETFs.
