Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) function similarly to stocks, allowing investors to buy and sell “units.” Unlike traditional shares, these “units” can be created or eliminated based on investor demand. We monitor week-over-week changes in shares outstanding to identify ETFs with significant inflows, marked by the creation of new units, or outflows, indicated by the destruction of existing units. The creation of new units necessitates the purchase of underlying holdings, while unit destruction involves selling off holdings, suggesting large flows can impact the individual components within ETFs.
