Understanding ETF Mechanics
ETFs operate akin to stocks, with investors transacting in ”units” rather than traditional ”shares”. These ”units” mirror stocks’ trading process but also permit creation or destruction based on investor trends. Weekly monitoring of shares outstanding changes enables the identification of ETFs witnessing remarkable inflows (indicating new unit creation) or outflows (reflecting old unit elimination). The inception of new units prompts the acquisition of the ETF’s underlying assets, while unit dissolution involves offloading these assets, potentially affecting the individual components within the ETF.
