Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) operate similarly to stocks, with investors buying and selling “units” instead of “shares.” These units can be created or eliminated based on market demand. By tracking weekly changes in shares outstanding, we identify ETFs with significant inflows (creation of new units) or outflows (destruction of old units). An increase in units typically means that the underlying assets of the ETF need to be purchased, while a reduction may involve selling off holdings. Thus, large inflows or outflows can influence the individual components within the ETFs.
