Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) function similarly to stocks, but investors buy and sell “units” instead of “shares.” These units can be traded freely like stocks and can also be created or destroyed in response to investor demand. Each week, we closely examine changes in outstanding shares to identify ETFs with significant inflows or outflows. When new units are created, the underlying holdings must be purchased, and conversely, when units are destroyed, these holdings are sold. Thus, large inflows or outflows can directly affect the individual stocks that the ETFs own.
