Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) operate similarly to stocks, but instead of “shares,” investors buy and sell “units.” These units are transferable like shares and can be created or destroyed to meet investor demand. We track the changes in outstanding shares each week to identify ETFs that experience significant inflows or outflows. The creation of new units typically requires purchasing the underlying holdings, while unit destruction involves selling those holdings. Consequently, substantial inflows or outflows can influence the individual securities held in these ETFs.
