Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) function similarly to stocks but involve “units” instead of “shares.” Investors can trade these units as they would stocks, and they can also be created or destroyed based on demand. Each week, we track changes in outstanding units to identify ETFs showing notable inflows or outflows. An increase in units generally necessitates the purchase of the ETF’s underlying assets, while a reduction involves selling them. Hence, substantial flows can influence the individual securities within ETFs.
