Understanding ETF Units
It’s important to note that exchange-traded funds (ETFs) operate similarly to stocks but involve “units” instead of shares. These units can be traded back and forth like stocks, yet they can also be created or destroyed based on investor demand. Our weekly monitoring of shares outstanding helps identify ETFs with significant inflows—indicating new unit creation—or outflows, which reflect unit destruction. When new units are created, the ETF must acquire the underlying assets, while unit destruction requires selling off those holdings. Therefore, substantial flows can influence individual components within these ETFs.
