Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) function similarly to stocks, where investors are technically buying and selling ”units” instead of ”shares”. These ”units” can be traded like stocks and may be created or destroyed depending on investor demand. Each week, we assess the week-over-week changes in shares outstanding to identify ETFs that are undergoing substantial inflows or outflows. An increase in unit creation necessitates the purchase of the ETF’s underlying holdings, while a decrease involves selling those holdings. Therefore, significant flows can also affect the individual components within the ETFs.
