Understanding ETF Flows

Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) operate similarly to stocks, whereby investors buy and sell “units” instead of shares. These units can fluctuate through trading, and they can also be created or eliminated based on investor demand. Each week, we assess the changes in outstanding shares to identify ETFs with significant inflows or outflows. A rise in the creation of units necessitates the purchase of the underlying holdings, whereas a reduction in units involves selling those holdings. Large transactions can have a direct impact on the ETFs’ individual components.
