The NAV will indicate the value of the ETF based on the value of
its underlying basket of assets.
Not exact matches
If the
underlying asset is a stock index, settlement is made in cash due to the difficulty in delivering a market
basket of stocks.
When creation takes place, an AP assembles the required portfolio
of underlying assets and turns that
basket over to the fund in exchange for newly created ETF shares.
Since both the ETF and the
basket of underlying assets are tradeable throughout the day, traders take advantage
of momentary arbitrage opportunities, which keeps the ETF price close to its fair value.
