Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) operate similarly to stocks, but instead of “shares”, investors buy and sell “units”. These units can be traded like stocks and adjusted based on investor demand. Each week, we track changes in shares outstanding to highlight ETFs that are seeing substantial inflows (indicating new units created) or outflows (indicating older units destroyed). When new units are created, the underlying assets of the ETF must be purchased, while selling units requires the ETF to liquidate some of its holdings. Thus, significant inflows or outflows can impact the individual stocks held within these ETFs.
