Exchange-traded funds operate similarly to stocks. However, investors deal in “units” rather than “shares.” These units can be bought and sold like stock shares, but they can also be created or destroyed based on investor demand. Each week, we track the week-over-week changes in shares outstanding to identify ETFs with significant inflows (indicating new units created) or outflows (indicating units destroyed). When new units are created, the corresponding underlying assets must be purchased; conversely, destroying units means selling off underlying assets. Thus, substantial flows can influence the individual components within these ETFs.
