Exchange traded funds (ETFs) trade just like stocks, but instead of “shares,” investors buy and sell “units.” These units can be traded back and forth just like stocks but can also be created or destroyed to accommodate investor demand.
Each week, we monitor the week-over-week change in shares outstanding data to identify ETFs experiencing notable inflows (many new units created) or outflows (many units destroyed). Creation of new units requires purchasing the underlying holdings of the ETF, while destruction of units involves selling these holdings. Therefore, large flows can significantly impact the individual components held within ETFs.
