Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) operate similarly to stocks, engendering a seamless buying and selling process for investors, albeit in the form of ‘units.’ The agility and malleability of these ‘units’ to be traded, created, or extinguished in response to investor demand set ETFs apart. Our weekly scrutiny of shares outstanding data diligently tracks noteworthy inflows (the creation of new units) or outflows (the destruction of old units) within ETFs.
The generation of new units implies an imperative acquisition of the ETF’s underlying holdings, while the obliteration of units entails the liquidation of these holdings. Consequently, substantial flows transpiring within ETFs can exert a reverberating influence on the individual components nestled within.
