Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) function similarly to stocks; however, investors buy and sell “units” instead of “shares.” These units can be traded like stocks but can also be created or destroyed based on investor demand. Each week, we monitor week-over-week changes in shares outstanding to identify ETFs that are witnessing significant inflows (indicating the creation of many new units) or outflows (reflecting the destruction of many units). When new units are created, the ETF must purchase the underlying assets, while the destruction of units necessitates selling those components. Therefore, substantial flows can influence the individual holdings within ETFs.
