Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) operate similarly to stocks, but investors buy and sell “units” instead of traditional shares. These units can be traded like stocks but can also be created or destroyed based on investor demand. To track significant inflows (new units created) or outflows (existing units destroyed), we monitor weekly changes in shares outstanding. When new units are created, the underlying assets of the ETF may need to be purchased, while the destruction of units involves selling these assets. Large movements can impact the components held within the ETFs themselves.
