Understanding ETFs and Their Trading Mechanisms
Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) function akin to stocks, where investors trade ”units” instead of traditional ”shares.” These ”units” can be bought and sold like stocks and can also be generated or eliminated based on investor demand. It is crucial to monitor the weekly alterations in shares outstanding data to identify ETFs experiencing notable inflows (creation of new units) or outflows (destruction of old units). The creation of new units necessitates the acquisition of underlying holdings, while the destruction of units involves selling these holdings, thereby impacting the individual components held within ETFs.
