Understanding ETF Mechanics
ETFs, akin to stocks, are traded through “units” that mirror the buying and selling mechanism of stocks. These “units” hold the flexibility of being created or destroyed based on investor demand. Monitoring weekly changes in shares outstanding sheds light on noteworthy inflows (indicative of new units created) or outflows (reflecting old units being destroyed). Noteworthy flows not only impact ETFs at a macro level but also influence the individual components housed within them.
