Understanding ETFs and Market Impact
Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) may trade akin to stocks, but instead of ”shares”, investors transact with ”units”. These ”units” exhibit the same flexibility as stocks for trading purposes but are also subject to creation or destruction as per investor demand. Our weekly scrutiny of the week-over-week change in shares outstanding data discerns ETFs experiencing noteworthy inflows (evidencing the creation of numerous new units) or outflows (witnessing the destruction of multiple existing units). The creation of new units necessitates the procurement of the ETF’s underlying assets, while the destruction of units involves liquidating these assets. Therefore, substantial flows possess the potential to sway the individual components embraced within ETFs.
