Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) function similarly to stocks, but instead of trading “shares,” investors are engaged in the buying and selling of “units.” These units can easily be traded, created, or destroyed based on investor demand. Each week, we analyze changes in shares outstanding to identify ETFs with significant inflows or outflows, helping us understand market movements. When new units are created, it necessitates purchasing the underlying assets of the ETF, while the destruction of units leads to selling off those assets. Therefore, substantial flows can influence the individual components held within ETFs.
