Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) function similarly to stocks but involve “units” instead of shares. Investors buy and sell these units, which can be created or destroyed based on market demand. Each week, we track changes in shares outstanding to identify ETFs experiencing significant inflows (new units created) or outflows (existing units destroyed). The creation of new units requires purchasing the underlying assets held in the ETF, while unit destruction indicates selling those assets. Therefore, substantial movements can influence the individual components within ETFs.
