Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) operate similarly to stocks, but investors trade “units” rather than shares. These units can be bought and sold like stocks, and crucially, they can be created or destroyed based on demand from investors. Every week, we track changes in shares outstanding to identify ETFs with significant inflows or outflows. The creation of new units necessitates purchasing the ETF’s underlying holdings, while the destruction of units leads to selling off those holdings. As a result, notable inflows or outflows can significantly affect individual components within the ETFs.
