Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) mirror stock trading mechanics, albeit involving the acquisition and sale of “units” instead of traditional shares. These “units” are subject to trading activities akin to stocks but also allow for their generation or termination based on investor
demand. Week by week, we meticulously track alterations in the outstanding shares data, pinpointing ETFs witnessing noteworthy inflows (indicating new unit creation) or outflows (highlighting old unit disposal).
Noteworthy to mention, creating new units necessitates the acquisition of the ETF’s underlying assets, whereas unit destruction involves divesting these assets. Thus, substantial flows can consequential affect the individual components embedded within ETFs.
