Key Risks

The key risks associated with ETFs include the following. It is important to note that the list of risks is not exhaustive.
Investors are exposed to market fluctuations.
When you buy an ETF, you receive an ownership stake in a pooled investment. Most ETFs track a target index by holding all, or a representative sample, of the underlying securities that make up the index. Hence, they should track the performance of their indexes and trade close to the Net Asset Value (NAV). A “broken” ETF is one with a huge tracking difference when the trading prices deviate far from its NAV.
Lower levels of liquidity lead to greater bid-ask spreads, larger discrepancies between NAV and the value of the underlying securities, as well as a decreased ability to trade profitably. Primary factors include the composition of the ETF and the trading volume of the individual securities that make up the ETF.
Synthetic ETFs typically hold no actual securities, but instead “engineer” the returns of a specific index. Synthetic ETFs are similar to Physical ETFs, except that instead of holding the underlying securities of an index, the ETF investor owns “swaps” and other collaterals which are used to replicate the holdings. As compared to purchasing the underlying asset itself, using derivatives reduces the fund’s costs, of which these savings are then passed on to investors. While there are regulations that may limit an ETF’s exposure to any one counterparty, the synthetic ETF investor could lose money if a counterparty is unable to pay.
