    Hi, I didn't bother with this as already got stuff in 2800.

    I have the feeling this ETF was launched for fund managers rather than for retail.

    Been reading up a fair bit on ETF liquidity.

    Found that the size of the ETF (net asset value) can be deceptive. There are quite a few USD 1B+ ETFs which barely trade - no volume.

    Fair bit of discussion in sacrificing a fraction of a percent on the expense ratio for certain ETFs in exchange for liquidity in the secondary market (i.e. on the exchange).

    For some ETFs I have been researching, 30 day average volume is also not good enough. Seeing spikes on 1st of the month - is something I need to look at further.

    Also, if you are trading ETFs which have overseas Holdings, look for spikes / trading during market overlaps if any.

    Just some thoughts for discussion.. I don't think this matters very significantly for the big iShares and Vanguard type funds, just trying to figure out worst case scenario - which is again irrelevant for long term plans as I assume there will be people selling when shit happens. My assumption may be wrong... Not adequately researched.

    What happened there? I mean what caused the decoupling?

    This is problematic...
