Morningstar ETFInvestor 5 August 2015For example the largest US-listed A-Share ETF, DB X-TrackersWe concede that if an ETF does deviate widely from NAV thenHarvest CSI 300 ETF ASHR has closely tracked the CSI 300there is cause to be wary. One of the advantages of ETFs overIndex over the long run, as seen in the chart below. But on 8 Julyother structures such as listed investment companies, is that theASHR traded at a discount of about 10%.open-ended nature of an ETF means that its usually easy toWhile that may sound problematic, we think its better to be ableto trade at a discount than to be unable to trade at all. Secondly,its arguable that the discount was not real – the underlying stockswere suspended so at that point the index values were arbitrary.The ETF and index values converged in the following days.execute at close to NAV. If an ETF is not trading near its NAV itmay indicate that extraordinary events are taking place. Thatreinforces our view that sticking to some helpful rules of thumbwhen trading ETFs is a good idea: check that the bid/ask spread isreasonable; compare the ETF’s price to its NAV and the iNav (ifavailable); if possible trade when the underlying markets are openAs ETFs grow in stature, more transactions are occuring between(for example trade China ETFs in the afternoon once AsianETF investors, without underlying stocks necessarily being tradedexchanges have opened); always use limit orders not market– the ownership of the underlying ETF portfolio merely changesorders; if in doubt, consider delaying your transaction or contacthands. In some markets ETFs have even supplanted futuresthe ETF provider or market-maker – there may be a glitch, butcontracts as the major source of liquidity and index exposure. So ifusually there will be a reasonable explanation.you see a notable discrepancy between an ETF and its benchmark,while its certainly worth investigating, it may just be that themarket is wrong and the ETF is right!In April 2015 Morningstar initiated research coverage of six globalequity and emerging markets ETFs from State Street andVanguard: SPDR S&P Global Dividend ETF WDIV, SPDR S&PIts worth noting that ETFs such as iShares China Large-CapWorld ex Australia ETF WXOZ, SPDR S&P World ex(AU) IZZ and iShares MSCI Emerging Markets (AU) IEM getAustralia(Hedged) ETF WXHG, Vanguard MSCI Index Intltheir China exposure via H-Shares – they do not hold A-Shares.ETF VGS, Vanguard MSCI Index Intl (Hdg) ETF VGAD andWe didn’t notice any outlandish trading in these ASX-listed ETFsVanguard FTSE Emerging Markets Shrs ETF VGE.
