Key Features of an ETF

Exchange Traded
An ETF is structured like a unit trust but it is traded like a single stock on the Bursa Malaysia.

Trading Price
Each ETF has a Net Asset Value (NAV), calculated according to the market price of the individual securities in the portfolio. But just like a stock, an ETF’s trading price is determined by supply and demand on the exchange. So the ETF’s trading price may not be the same as its NAV. This can provide opportunities for arbitrage.

Distributions
An ETF may pay distribution. Check the individual fund’s distribution policy to know for sure.

Management Charges
As a managed portfolio of securities, the ETF incurs fund management and administrative fees, which are deducted from the ETF’s assets. The NAV is adjusted accordingly.

Transaction Charges
When you buy or sell the ETF, you will incur normal stock market transaction costs such as brokerage commission, stamp duty, and clearing fee, just as when you buy or sell an ordinary stock.
