Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) function similarly to stocks. However, instead of “shares,” investors buy and sell “units.” These units can be traded like stocks, but they can also be created or destroyed based on investor demand. Weekly monitoring of changes in outstanding shares helps identify ETFs that have significant inflows or outflows. The creation of new units necessitates purchasing the underlying stocks, while the destruction of units often involves selling those stocks. Thus, substantial flows can significantly impact the individual securities within the ETFs.
