It’s Liquidity That Matters!

Access to liquidity remains the key factor in successfully executing an ETF block trade, especially when aiming to minimize market impact. It is common for an ETF to trade 3x, 4x, or even 20x its average daily volume, often within the bid/ask spread. These trades are not isolated events, but are usually carefully coordinated between the client, the ETF issuer, and the ETF market makers. It is possible to execute significant ETF block trades while incurring minimal market impact in what on the surface appears to be “illiquid” ETFs. Discover the steps to implementing successful and seamless ETF block trades.

  1. Many low volume trading ETFs can access “hidden liquidity,” enabling them to trade in large size while minimizing market impact.
  2. Investors should consider partnering with an ETF issuer’s Capital Markets desk to develop an effective execution strategy.
  3. ETF market makers are an important part of the ETF ecosystem, providing the necessary liquidity to implement large block transactions.

Investing involves risk including loss of principal. Stocks may decline in value. Bond investments are subject to interest-rate, credit, liquidity, and market risks to varying degrees. When interest rates rise, bond prices generally fall. Credit risk refers to the ability of an issuer to make timely payments of principal and interest. Investing in derivatives entails special risks relating to liquidity, leverage and credit that may reduce returns and/or increase volatility. Foreign investing involves greater and different risks than investing in US companies, including currency fluctuations, less liquidity, less developed or less efficient trading markets, lack of comprehensive company information, political instability and differing auditing and legal standards. Emerging markets tend to be more volatile and less liquid than the markets of more mature economies, and generally have less diverse and less mature economic structures and less stable political systems than those of developed countries. Funds investing in a single industry, country or in a limited geographic region generally are more volatile than more diversified funds.  Performance of a fund may diverge from that of an underlying index due to operating expenses, transaction costs, cash flows, use of sampling strategies or operational inefficiencies. There are additional risks associated with investing in high-yield bonds, aggressive growth stocks, non-diversified/concentrated funds and small- and mid-cap stocks which are more fully explained in the prospectuses, as applicable. An investment in any fund should be considered only as a supplement to a complete investment program for those investors willing to accept the risks associated with that fund. Please read the applicable prospectus for more information.
