Understanding ETF Mechanics

Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) operate similarly to stocks, but investors buy and sell “units.” These units can be traded like stocks and can also be created or destroyed based on investor demand. Each week, we track changes in shares outstanding to identify ETFs with significant inflows (new units created) or outflows (old units destroyed). The creation of new units necessitates the purchase of underlying holdings, while the destruction of units involves selling those holdings. This dynamic can significantly affect the individual components within ETFs.
