Understanding the Dynamics
Exchange traded funds (ETFs) operatively function akin to stocks, where investors trade ”units” instead of traditional ”shares.” These interchangeable ”units” facilitate seamless back-and-forth trading similar to stocks, while also enabling the creation or annihilation of units to meet investor demands. Tracking the week-over-week changes in shares outstanding data is vital. It aids in identifying noteworthy inflows (generating new units) or outflows (eliminating old units) within ETFs. The inception of new units necessitates the acquisition of underlying holdings, while the eradication of units involves selling off these holdings. Consequently, substantial flows can significantly impact the individual components held within ETFs.
