ETFs, akin to stocks, are traded as “units,” providing investors with the ability to buy and sell them just like conventional stocks. These units can be traded back and forth in the market or could be newly created or destroyed to meet investor needs. Monitoring the week-over-week alterations in shares outstanding data allows for a close watch on notable inflows (indicative of new units created) or outflows (indicative of old units being destroyed) within ETFs. The creation of new units necessitates the purchase of the underlying holdings of the ETF, while their destruction involves selling off these holdings, thereby exerting an impact on the individual components held within these ETFs.
