Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) function similarly to stocks, where investors buy and sell “units” instead of shares. These units are exchanged like stocks, yet they can also be created or destroyed based on investor demand. Weekly monitoring of the changes in shares outstanding helps identify ETFs with significant inflows (implying new units created) or outflows (indicating old units destroyed). The creation of new units leads to the purchase of the underlying ETF holdings, while unit destruction necessitates selling those holdings. Therefore, substantial flows can also influence the individual components within ETFs.
