Active Trading in ETFs: The Role of High-Frequency Algorithmic Trading
研究了高频算法交易对ETF的影响，发现其能缩小基金价格与净值的偏差、降低价差并促进套利，对关注市场效率和流动性的学者有参考价值。
In the study reported here, we explored high-frequency algorithmic trading and its effect on exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Using the cancel rate, the trade-to-order ratio, percentage odd-lot volume, and trade size as proxies for algorithmic trading, we found that more algorithmic trading in ETFs results in smaller and less persistent deviations of fund prices from their net asset values (NAVs). Arbitrage strategies adopted by algorithmic traders directly help reduce the magnitude and persistence of ETF price deviations from NAVs. Also, algorithmic trading improves ETF liquidity by lowering spreads and facilitates arbitrage.
