Understanding ETF Share Dynamics

Exchange traded funds (ETFs) function like stocks; however, investors buy and sell “units” instead of shares. These units can be traded like stocks but may also be created or destroyed based on investor demand. Each week, we monitor the changes in shares outstanding to identify ETFs with significant inflows (new units created) or outflows (old units destroyed). The creation of new units necessitates purchasing the underlying assets, while unit destruction involves selling them. Consequently, substantial flows can influence the individual components held within these ETFs.
