Understanding ETF Dynamics
Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) operate similarly to stocks, but investors buy and sell “units” rather than “shares.” These units can be traded and also created or destroyed based on investor demand. Each week, we track changes in shares outstanding to identify ETFs with significant inflows (new units created) or outflows (units taken out of circulation). An increase in units typically requires purchasing the ETF’s underlying holdings, while a decrease necessitates selling those holdings. Therefore, large flows can influence the individual components within ETFs.
