We conduct weekly surveillance on changes in shares outstanding to pinpoint ETFs reflecting notable inflows or outflows. Increased unit creation triggers the need to purchase the ETF’s underlying assets, whereas unit destruction entails selling off these assets, consequently affecting individual components within the ETF.
