ETF Management mechanism

� The trading mechanism of ETFs involves :� Market maker : pricing continuously the funds

� Exchange : accessibility to the funds

� Asset Manager : ensuring replication

� Replication can be achieved through :

� Full replication = replicating asset values in the fund

� Sample replication = replicating values using proxys when underlying

unavailable for reduction of Tracking Error

� Synthetic replication = replication using different tools (swaps)

� Best replication is full replication but can be costly

� Tracking error will be very low for the synthetic replication when not taking

into account the financial tools costs

Page 19: Easyetf, ETF As Allocation Tool

Page Page Page Page 1919191919191919

� Money Market Investment, corresponding to 100% of the fund assets.

� Benchmark : U.S T- bills

� UCITS III

� Replication via future on S&P GSCI® index and swaps on S&P GSCI® Index

� Maximum exposure equal to 100% of the fund asset
