Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) function similarly to stocks, but investors actually buy and sell “units” instead of “shares.” These units can be traded back and forth like stocks and can also be created or destroyed based on investor interest. Each week, we analyze week-over-week changes in shares outstanding, allowing us to identify ETFs with significant inflows (new units created) or outflows (units destroyed). The creation of new units typically necessitates purchasing the ETF’s underlying holdings, while the destruction of units involves selling those holdings. Therefore, significant share movements can influence the individual components within an ETF.
