Exchange traded funds (ETFs) function akin to stocks; however, investors trade ”units” instead of ”shares”. These ”units” can be bought and sold like stocks and can be created or destroyed to meet investor demand. It’s pivotal to monitor the week-over-week change in shares outstanding data to identify ETFs experiencing notable inflows or outflows. The creation of new units signifies the need to purchase the underlying holdings of the ETF, while the destruction of units entails selling underlying holdings. Large flows can impact the individual components held within ETFs, underscoring the need for close monitoring.
