Exchange Traded Funds

An exchange-traded fund (or ETF) trades at the approximate net asset value of the underlying assets it represents.  Most of these instruments track specific indices and are traded the same way as stocks.  Investors are attracted to ETF’s because of diversification and tax benefits, while traders enjoy the similarity to common stock.

ETF valuation is handled in basically the same manner as mutual funds or unit investment trusts, using the net asset value at the close of trading to price redemptions and purchases.  However, traders enjoy the flexibility of trading these in a manner more similar to closed end funds, since the fluctuations throughout the trading day can be traded in the same manner as stocks or indices.

Hedge fund traders can use ETF’s as a means of creating arbitragge opportunities, as the ETF can be exchanged for the underlying assets and vice versa.
