Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) function similarly to stocks. Instead of purchasing shares, investors buy and sell “units.” These units can be traded just like shares of stock but can also be created or destroyed based on investor demand. Each week, we track changes in shares outstanding to identify ETFs facing either significant inflows (new units created) or outflows (existing units destroyed). The creation of new units necessitates purchasing the underlying holdings, while unit destruction entails selling off these holdings. Therefore, large asset flows can significantly affect the individual components of ETFs.
