Understanding ETFs and Market Influence
ETFs, granted they trade akin to stocks, are unique with their ”units” rather than traditional shares. These ”units” can be traded back and forth, akin to stocks, or brought into existence to meet investor demand. By tracking week-over-week fluctuations in shares outstanding data, we hone in on ETFs witnessing significant inflows (creation of new units) or outflows (destruction of existing units). The inception of new units necessitates the procurement of underlying holdings, while the elimination of units involves the divestment of these holdings, thereby exerting an impact on the individual components sheltered within ETFs.
