17 Misconceptions There is no volume on exchange so it must be illiquid. Brokers are liquidity transformers The ETF is as liquid as the underlying and correlated products Last trade is no where near the bid/offer in the market. Use the NAV as an reference level for an ETFs current value The ETF appears to have tracking error relative to the index. Keep in mind whether the reference index is price or total return and how this relates to the ETFs dividend treatment (reinvested, distributed) Calculate total return for both products and the expected impact of the management fee over a given time period Will I have to pay stamp on a UK listed ETF? ETF shares are stamp exempt BUT, stamp is payable on underlying shares in the primary market so the cost is priced in Slide 16
