Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) behave similarly to stocks, but investors buy and sell “units” instead of “shares.” These units can be created or destroyed based on investor demand, allowing for flexible trading. Each week, we monitor the changes in shares outstanding to identify ETFs with significant inflows (new units created) or outflows (existing units destroyed). The creation or destruction of units may require adjusting the underlying assets of the ETF, influencing the performance of its individual components.
