Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) function similarly to stocks; however, investors buy and sell “units” rather than traditional shares. These units can be traded just like stocks but can also be created or destroyed based on investor demand. Each week, we monitor changes in shares outstanding to identify ETFs that are experiencing significant inflows (new units created) or outflows (old units destroyed). The creation of new units necessitates purchasing the underlying securities of the ETF, whereas the destruction of units results in selling those holdings, which can impact the individual components within the ETFs.
