ETFs operate similarly to stocks, where investors buy and sell “units” instead of “shares.” These units can be traded continuously, but they can also be created or removed based on market demand. Each week, we track the week-over-week changes in shares outstanding to identify ETFs with significant inflows (new units created) or outflows (old units removed). The creation of new units requires the purchase of underlying holdings in the ETF, whereas the destruction of units necessitates selling these holdings, potentially impacting the individual assets within the ETF.
