Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) operate like stocks, but investors trade “units” instead of shares. These units can be created or destroyed based on market demand, impacting the underlying assets within the ETF. Each week, we monitor changes in shares outstanding to identify ETFs with significant inflows or outflows. The creation of new units means that the ETF must purchase more of its underlying assets, while the destruction of units involves selling off those holdings, which can affect the individual securities within the fund.
