1. Introduction Why Should ETFs Interest You?Exchange traded
funds (ETFs) are depository receipts on open-ended unitinvestment
trusts or mutual funds that are indexed to selected benchmarks1.
ETFofferings include broad, style, sector, industry, country, and
regional benchmarks.Over the past few years, the demand and
offering of these products have grownexponentially. As the chart
below shows, ETF assets have grown from anestimated $463 million in
1993 to roughly $70 billion currently.A key reason for their
popularity is their convenience. Since ETFs trade andsettle like a
stock, there is no additional infrastructure or documentation
required.By executing a single ETF transaction, an investor can
obtain exposure tobroad indices or sectors. For example, if an
investor needs exposure to LargeCap Technology, he can obtain this
exposure by purchasing the TechnologySector SPDR (Ticker: XLK)
which represents the technology sector of theS&P500 Index.The
goal of this report is to provide a thorough understanding of ETFs.
Thereport is structured as follows: First we provide some basic
information on how ETFs work. We discuss
their sources of liquidity, dividends & management fees, and
thecreation/redemption process.
Second, we list the advantages and disadvantages of ETFs.
Third we discuss various ETF strategies to implement. Fourth, we
provide a list of available ETFs that are currently trading in
North America and useful information such as assets under
management foreach ETF, and daily turnover, management fees and
initial index ratio.
Fifth, we highlight fifteen select ETFs and provide important
statistics andcharts on liquidity and assets under management.
In the appendix to the report, we provide an ETF ticker
reference table.

2. The Mechanics of ETFs How do ETFs Work?The value of an ETF is
based on the value of a basket of shares that tracks anindex. Most
ETFs will ensure accurate tracking by holding the underlying
indexconstituents in the correct weights2.The ETF structure allows
designated participants to create or redeem sharesof the ETF. Newly
created shares are delivered by the ETF manager to theauthorised
participant or market maker in exchange for the entire portfolio
ofunderlying shares. The stocks are held by the fund manager, while
the newlycreated shares can be traded by the market maker in the
secondary market.The redemption of ETF shares works in a similar
way: the ETF manager deliversthe underlying stocks to the market
maker in exchange for ETF shares to beredeemed.
Exchange Traded Funds are Depository Receipts on Underlying
Trust or Mutual Fund
Unit Trustor

What about Dividends & Management Fees?Unless the underlying
index is a total return index, ETFs pay dividends toinvestors on a
regular basis. Dividends paid by the stocks held in the ETF
areaccrued and kept as cash until they are paid to the investor.
The managementfee is deducted from this cash on a daily basis. When
the dividends of theunderlying stocks are not sufficient to cover
the management fee, a small portionof the underlying stocks in the
ETF are liquidated to cover it.
Why do ETFs Trade Close to NAV?The NAV (Net Asset Value) of the
ETF, expressed on a per share basis, is thevalue of the underlying
constituents of the benchmark held by the ETF, plus theaccrued
dividends less the accrued management fee. Although the price at
whichan ETF trades is subject to the same supply and demand
dynamics of a normalshare, the creation/redemption process
described above ensures that the pricetrades very close to the NAV.
Since ETF shares can be created or redeemed atthe NAV, a material
discrepancy between the trading price of the ETF and itsNAV can be
arbitraged away.
2 ETFs may optimize their portfolio holdings. For example, the
MSCITM EAFE iShare captures about80% of the EAFE index.
ETF Creation & RedemptionProcess
Dividends are paid to investorsregularly
NAV = value of constituents +dividends management fees

What are the Sources of ETF Liquidity?There are two sources from
which ETFs derive their liquidity: The main source is the liquidity
of the underlying constituents or related
futures since new shares can be created by depositing requisite
baskets withthe trust.
For intraday liquidity, market makers and arbitrageurs play
animportant role as they effectively transfer the liquidity of the
underlyingor futures to ETFs. Market makers could provide liquidity
in the depositoryreceipts and hedge their intraday position risk in
the underlying or futuresmarkets (hence, the transfer of intraday
liquidity from the constituents to theSector SPDRs), and later
create or redeem new depository receipts as needed
In order to assess ETF liquidity, investors should look at the
underlyingstock, and if available, futures liquidity (the primary
sources of ETF liquidity).An ETF that has not posted high daily
trading volume may have surprising depthif the underlying
constituents or futures on the index are liquid enough.

How Many ETF Shares to Trade?Finally we demonstrate how the ETF
calculation works. To calculate thenumber of shares to trade, the
investor divides the notional dollar amount totrade by the
prevailing ETF price.

3. Advantages and Disadvantages of UsingETFs What are some
advantages and disadvantages of ETFs?Below, we provide some of the
key advantages and disadvantages of using ETFs.
Advantages of ETFs ETFs provide exposure to a diversified basket
of names with a single
execution.
The depository receipts are treated like stocks, and therefore,
no additionalinfrastructure or administrative set up is
necessary.
ETFs are available on a variety of indices ranging from sectors
to broadindices.
ETFs can be sold short without a plus tick. Potential
flexibility in tax loss management.3
Depository receipts can be purchased on margin long positions
require50% and short positions require 150%.
ETF shares can be created or redeemed. The creation-redemption
activityis often performed by dealers and arbitrageurs.
Disadvantages of ETFs Management fees, which are deducted from
dividends. If dividends are
insufficient, then portions of funds are sold. Potential capital
gains distributions. Certain funds may be restricted from owning
another fund, which
constrains their use of ETFs. For example, no registered company
under the1940 Investment Company Act may own:1. More than 3% of the
outstanding shares of another 1940 Act company.2. More then 5% of
its own assets in a single 1940 Act company.3. More than 10% of its
own assets in 1940 Act companies (in aggregate).
Bid-offer spread and typical premium/discount price to the NAV.
Investors should bear in mind that these factors (particularly
bid-offer
spreads) can vary significantly from product to product. Such
variations canlead to material differences in overall
performance.

4. Strategy Implementation with ETFs Which Strategies Can be
Easily Achieved Through ETFs?Below, we highlight eight strategies
that can be implemented through the use ofETFs.
1. Efficient asset allocationETFs can be used by fund managers
to quickly reduce or increase exposure to aparticular sector,
industry, country or region.2. Equitization and cash flow
managementETFs can be used to gain exposure to the market
effectively, thus reducing afunds cash drag.3. Index/portfolio
changesETFs can be used to manage flows arising from portfolio
rebalancing events moreeffectively.4. HedgingETFs can be used to
hedge a portfolio in various sectors, industries,
regions,countries, etc. Since ETFs can be shorted on a downtick,
this is a usefuladvantage.5. Short term tactical exposureThe
convenience and speed of trading ETFs enables fund managers to
takeadvantage of short-term opportunities.6. Relative value
strategiesThe ability to short-sell ETFs enables investors to take
a view on the spreadbetween two markets on a sector or country
basis.7. Efficient accessRetail investors can gain access to a
particular market very efficiently. The lowcost and small
denomination make them very attractive for retail investors.
Inaddition, they may be used to provide exposure to non-domestic
markets that maytrade in different time-zones and currencies.8.
Arbitrage opportunitiesProfessional market participants may exploit
arbitrage opportunities between theETF, the underlying market and
the futures (if available).
