Understanding ETF Trading Dynamics

Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) function similarly to stocks, but when investors buy and sell, they deal with “units” instead of shares. These units can be traded just like stocks and can also be created or destroyed to meet investor demand. Each week, we assess changes in shares outstanding to identify ETFs with notable inflows or outflows. Creating new units requires purchasing underlying assets, while unit destruction necessitates selling those underlying holdings. Therefore, substantial inflows and outflows can influence the individual components included in ETFs.
