Understanding ETFs and Share Dynamics
ETFs operate akin to stocks, with investors engaging in the buying and selling of “units” instead of traditional shares. These units are tradable entities that can be created or extinguished to accommodate market demands. Our weekly surveillance of the alteration in shares outstanding data remains instrumental in spotting ETFs witnessing notable inflows (signifying new units generated) or outflows (indicating old units eradicated).
The creation of new units necessitates the acquisition of the underlying assets of the ETF, while the destruction of units involves the divestment of these holdings. Therefore, substantial flows can potentially impact the individual components held within ETFs.
