ETFs function similarly to stocks, where investors buy and sell not “shares” but rather “units.” These units can change hands like stocks and can also be created or destroyed based on investor demand. Each week, we track the change in shares outstanding to identify ETFs with significant inflows or outflows. The creation of new units requires the purchase of the ETF’s underlying holdings, while unit destruction involves selling those holdings. Consequently, large inflows or outflows can significantly impact the individual components held within ETFs.
