ETFs, or Exchange Traded Funds, function similarly to stocks but involve purchasing and selling “units.” These units can be both created or destroyed based on investor interest. Each week, we track the changes in shares outstanding to identify ETFs with significant inflows (new units created) or outflows (existing units removed). When new units are created, it necessitates the purchase of the underlying assets in the ETF. Conversely, when units are destroyed, those assets must be sold, impacting the individual components within the ETF.
