Understanding ETF Dynamics
Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) operate akin to stocks, where investors trade ‘units’ instead of traditional ‘shares.’ These units are exchangeable like stocks while also subject to creation or destruction based on investor requirements. By tracking weekly changes in shares outstanding, we can identify ETFs witnessing significant inflows (new unit creation) or outflows (unit destruction).
Noteworthy flows impact the underlying components held by the ETF. Increased creation necessitates the purchase of underlying assets, while destruction leads to selling holdings, influencing individual components within the ETF.
