etf's have already taken the world by
[2]
storm and are now also seeing increased
[5]
adoption in India EDF industry has seen
[9]
a 10x growth in the last five years but
[12]
still many people have stayed away as
[14]
they believe ETFs are illiquid so what
[18]
determines ETF liquidity and are they
[21]
really a liquid in this video we will
[24]
tell all about ETF liquidity and its
[27]
creation and redemption process if you
[30]
want to know about the basics of ETF you
[33]
can see our first video of this etf
[35]
series so what do people mean when they
[39]
see ETFs are illiquid as ETF is traded
[43]
on the stock exchange and if there
[45]
aren't enough people trailing ETF units
[47]
it creates a bubble and investor has to
[51]
pay more than the net asset value that
[53]
is price of the unit in order to buy ETF
[57]
units it's simple supply demand scenario
[60]
in case of stocks there is a market risk
[64]
when buying or selling large number of
[66]
stocks because if stock doesn't have
[69]
enough seller or buyer the investor has
[72]
to wait till the liquidity comes in that
[75]
stock in order to buy or sell it so you
[79]
will be thinking that same is the case
[81]
with ETF right not really
[84]
PDFs are unique as liquidity in ETF can
[89]
be easily created by authorized
[91]
participants these are pre appointed by
[94]
asset management companies to provide
[97]
ETF liquidity on stock exchanges so
[100]
authorized participants are basically
[102]
middlemen in this scenario who helped in
[105]
ETF creation and redemption process and
[108]
helps in ETF liquidity now let's
[111]
understand these with chocolates take a
[114]
look at this chocolates display eat
[116]
chocolate represents an individual
[119]
company stock a chocolate packet
[121]
represents in EDF a chocolate packet
[124]
that is ETF contains specific selection
[128]
of chocolates based on a predefined
[130]
strategy for example an
[132]
the price of chocolate packet that is
[135]
ETF is based on the price of all the
[138]
chocolates in it if the price of
[140]
chocolates that is stocks increases the
[143]
price of chocolate packet that is ETF
[145]
increases and purchasing chocolate
[149]
packets from the shop represents buying
[151]
ETF from your broker to sum it up
[154]
individual chocolate is a stock the
[157]
chocolate packet is an ETF and the shop
[160]
owner is your brokerage firm now let's
[163]
understand how ETF creation and
[166]
redemption process works
[167]
to purchase a packet of chocolates
[170]
investor goes to the shop and sees
[173]
different packets of chocolates and
[174]
orders the one he likes the shop owner
[177]
who is the broker then goes to the
[180]
chocolate market that is the stock
[182]
market and fills the order the investor
[185]
pays the shop owner receives the
[187]
chocolate packet that is ETF and enjoys
[190]
the chocolate that was simple right but
[193]
what happens when an investor wants to
[195]
buy a much larger order let's say the
[199]
investor now wants 200 chocolate packets
[202]
once again
[203]
the shop owner goes to the chocolate
[205]
market but there are not enough people
[208]
who want to sell chocolate packets to
[210]
fulfill 200 orders now what to solve
[214]
this more chocolate packets can be
[216]
created instantly for investor that is
[219]
the ETF creation process due to increase
[223]
demand of 200 packets and lack of
[226]
liquidity the trading price of chocolate
[228]
packets increases let's say it goes from
[231]
rupees 300 to rupees 3 20 per packet the
[236]
middleman that is warehouse manager now
[239]
knows that more packets are required in
[242]
the chocolate market the middleman then
[245]
buys individual chocolates from the
[247]
market required to make the chocolate
[249]
packet that is ETF at rupees 300 as the
[253]
individual chocolate prices are still
[255]
the same the warehouse manager then
[258]
sends these individual chocolates to
[261]
packet manufacturers that is asset
[263]
management companies to package the
[265]
chocolates
[266]
as per defined strategy once 200 packets
[269]
are ready packet manufacturer that is
[272]
asset management companies deliver them
[275]
to the warehouse manager that is
[277]
authorized participants and they then
[279]
deliver it to the chocolate market and
[281]
your broker then fulfills your 200 order
[284]
in the process the authorized
[286]
participants sell the individual
[289]
chocolates to the asset management
[291]
companies and rupees 300 and get the EPF
[294]
unit of same value that is rupees 300
[297]
and not the trading value thus making a
[300]
profit on the spread the unique creation
[304]
process of EDF means that even with
[307]
large orders the cost of each packet
[309]
remains approximately the same and the
[312]
creation process does not require any
[314]
additional time and effort in terms of
[317]
investor all of this happens in the
[320]
background and for you it's simple easy
[322]
and convenient
[324]
now if the investor wants to sell the
[327]
200 packets the unique ETF redemption
[330]
process comes in the picture as investor
[333]
now want to sell 200 packets the supply
[336]
increases and due to lack of liquidity
[339]
the trading price of chocolate packets
[341]
decreases as people always like to buy
[344]
at a low cost let's say the price goes
[347]
from rupees 300 to 280 but chocolate
[350]
packet the warehouse manager now buys
[354]
these packets at rupees 280 again the
[358]
underlying individual chocolates are
[360]
still worth rupees 300 the warehouse
[363]
manager then sends these packets to
[366]
packet designers that is asset
[368]
management companies the designer
[370]
separates the individual chocolates from
[373]
chocolate packets and gives it back to
[375]
warehouse manager the warehouse manager
[378]
then sells individual chocolates to
[381]
market at rupees 300 thus gaining a
[384]
rupees 20 profit authorized participants
[387]
buys or sells at the net asset value and
[390]
not at the training value and they make
[392]
money like that and helps in the
[394]
liquidity of ETFs again like ETF
[398]
