Exchange traded funds (ETFs) operate similarly to stocks; however, investors are actually buying and selling “units.” These units can be created or canceled based on demand. Each week, we track changes in outstanding units to identify ETFs that are experiencing significant inflows, indicating a creation of new units, or outflows, suggesting a reduction in units. Notably, the creation of new units means that the ETF must acquire underlying assets, whereas the destruction of units entails selling those assets. Therefore, large market movements can also affect the individual securities within the ETF.
