Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) function similarly to stocks, yet investors buy and sell “units” instead of “shares.” These units are traded like stocks and can be created or destroyed in response to market demand. Each week, we evaluate the week-over-week changes in shares outstanding to identify ETFs with significant inflows or outflows—indicative of investor behavior. Newly created units necessitate the purchase of the underlying holdings, while unit destruction entails selling off those holdings, potentially affecting the individual assets within the ETFs.
