Discount to NAV matters because the gap is a cost that the investor pays when entering or leaving. Buying at a 2% premium means paying \u20b9102 for \u20b9100 of assets. If the premium narrows later that \u20b92 is lost even when the underlying index has not moved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"NAV_iNAV_and_market_price\"><\/span><strong>NAV, iNAV and market price<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Measure<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">What it shows<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">When it updates<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>NAV<\/td><td>The value of the funds holdings per unit<\/td><td>a day after the market closes<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>iNAV (indicative NAV)<\/td><td>An estimate of that value during trading hours<\/td><td>Frequently during market hours<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Market price<\/td><td>The price at which units are bought and sold on the exchange<\/td><td>With every trade<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Bid-ask spread<\/td><td>The gap between the buy quote and the best sell quote which is the cost of trading immediately<\/td><td>Continuously<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a functioning ETF all three sit close together.

If the market price rises above NAV, a market maker can create units at NAV and sell them at the higher market price and the extra supply pushes the price back toward NAV. If the market price falls below NAV the market maker buys units cheaply. Redeems them against the underlying assets and the extra demand lifts the price back toward NAV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_a_premium_or_discount_persists\"><\/span><strong>Why a premium or discount persists<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Cause<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Premium or discount<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">What happens<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Unit creation is blocked<\/td><td>Premium<\/td><td>No new supply can enter so extra demand pushes the price up until limits change.

A small gap on an ETF is normal while a persistent or large premium calls for a look at why creation or liquidity is constrained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kuvera offers mutual funds, which are priced at NAV and that makes the comparison with an ETF market price straightforward for similar exposure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_Asked_Questions\"><\/span><strong>Frequently Asked Questions<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1. What does it mean when an ETF trades at a premium to NAV?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It means the market price is higher than the value of the assets the ETF holds. A buyer at that price is paying more than the underlying holdings are worth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2. Why do ETFs trade at a discount?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ETFs trade at a discount when selling pressure exceeds demand, when trading is thin, or when the underlying holdings are illiquid and hard to price. The market price falls below the NAV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3. What is iNAV?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">iNAV stands for indicative NAV. iNAV is an estimate of the per-unit value of a funds holdings. iNAV updates while market hours are in session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>4. Can an ETF premium disappear?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes the premium can disappear. When unit creation resumes or demand falls the ETF premium can narrow fast. A buyer who bought at the premium will lose money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>5. How is the premium or discount calculated?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The premium or discount equals the market price minus the NAV divided by the NAV. For example if the market price is \u20b9102 and the NAV is \u20b9100 the premium is 2%.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An exchange traded fund (ETF) can trade above or below the value of the assets it holds; if an ETF has an asset value (NAV) of \u20b9100 per unit and trades at \u20b9102 it trades at a 2% premium and if it trades at \u20b998 it trades at a 2% discount.
