The Intricacies of ETFs
Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) function akin to stocks, albeit involving the trading of “units” rather than traditional shares. These “units” are tradable entities that can be bought, sold, created, or liquidated according to investor demand. Monitoring week-over-week changes in shares outstanding data is crucial to identify ETFs witnessing noteworthy inflows (emergence of new units) or outflows (destruction of existing units). The creation or destruction of units directly impacts the underlying holdings of the ETF, necessitating corresponding stock transactions.
