Theoretical reasons for people to trade ETF • Diversification • Low transaction cost • Barring tax considerations (Taiwan does not have capital gain tax), for wealthy long-term investors cost of diversified portfolio could be lower than that of ETF (due to management fee of ETF) • Trading strategy • Arbitrage
Empirical findings on the ETF in Taiwan • Weekly tracking error is about 0.862 basis point • Annual tracking error is about 28.4 basis points from 1993 to 1998 (Elton et al.) • Cash dividend seems to be the villain for the tracking error in Taiwan • Premium/discount has improved since the new block trade rule and the exemption of up-tick rule for the ETF component stocks
Suggestions for increasing the demand for ETF • Market ETF with the help of financial planners • Increase the frequency of distribution of cash dividend to ETF investors • Reduce the management fee of ETF • Improve trading mechanism – e.g., block trade, price limit, and off-exchange trading, etc.
