The Intricacies of ETFs
ETFs function akin to regular stocks, with investors trading “units” instead of traditional shares. These “units” are transacted similar to stocks but can be both created and destroyed based on investor demand. Monitoring changes in shares outstanding on a weekly basis unveils significant inflows (creation of new units) or outflows (destruction of existing units) within ETFs. Noteworthy flows can affect the underlying components held within ETFs, as creation involves purchasing underlying assets while destruction necessitates their sale.
