ETFs are peculiar creatures in the stock market ecosystem. Acting like stocks but masquerading as “units,” they delight in the frenzy of trading activity. Where there are outflows, there are inflows — a delicate balance as old units vacate the stage to make room for new ones. This financial tango affects not just the ETF itself but also its underlying components, like actors in a theatrical performance.
