Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) operate similarly to stocks, where investors buy and sell “units” instead of traditional “shares.” These units can be traded easily and are subject to creation or destruction based on market demand. Each week, we track changes in shares outstanding to identify ETFs with significant inflows (indicating the creation of many new units) or outflows (indicating the destruction of old units). The creation of new units necessitates purchasing the underlying holdings of the ETF, while unit destruction requires selling these holdings, potentially impacting the components within the ETF.
