Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) function similarly to stocks, but investors buy and sell “units” instead of shares. These units can be switched between buyers and sellers just like stocks. Additionally, new units can be created or existing ones can be removed based on investor demand. Each week, we track changes in shares outstanding, watching for ETFs that experience significant inflows (where many new units are created) or outflows (where many units are retired). When new units are created, the underlying assets within the ETF are also bought, while the destruction of units entails selling those assets. As a result, significant inflows or outflows can affect the individual components within the ETFs.
