Understanding Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs)
ETFs, akin to stocks, are traded as ”units”, representing units bought and sold by investors. These ”units” are tradable similar to stocks and can be generated or eliminated based on investor demand. Weekly monitoring of the changes in shares outstanding data detects ETFs experiencing notable inflows (creation of new units) or outflows (destruction of old units). Significant inflows necessitate the purchase of underlying holdings, while outflows involve selling these holdings, thereby influencing the individual components within ETFs.
