Understanding ETF Dynamics
Functioning akin to stocks, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) involve the acquisition and divestment of ”units” instead of traditional ”shares”. These ”units” are tradable entities, subject to creation or elimination to meet investor needs.
Weekly scrutiny of shifts in shares outstanding data is instrumental in identifying ETFs witnessing notable inflows (through new unit creations) or outflows (via existing unit eliminations). The genesis of new units necessitates the acquisition of underlying holdings, while unit removals entail divestment of the said assets, impacting the individual components housed within ETFs.
