Whereas that's not reflective at all.

It's the underlying securities, getting back to that, the underlying securities are the true arbiter of the liquidity of that ETF at any point in time.

And so even institutions will err on that.

The Rational Reminder Podcast
How Canadian ETFs Actually Work | #413 (Morley Conn)

But one factor as well, Cameron, for institutions is many want to own an ETF

The Rational Reminder Podcast

that they'll want to own up to 10% of the ETF.

So if they want some sort of critical mass position of 50 to 100 million, they do want to see more AUM.

We come into the first dust up, first market type sell-off or very, very unfavorable market conditions, this won't fly.

How Canadian ETFs Actually Work | #413 (Morley Conn)

I could not have been more wrong, guys, because through every disaster scenario, and we've had many disaster scenarios, every time the market has gone through difficult times, we have seen more liquidity come into both high-yield bond funds and as well ETFs in general.

The Rational Reminder Podcast
