There is exchange in kind, which is exchanging the underlying securities that make up the ETF.

And then there's also a cash exchange, where instead of providing them with the ETF securities, I give them cash, which the buyer gave to me, exchanged to me, and then the issuer will go out and buy those securities.

So there's a few different ways that the creation redemption process will occur.

The portfolio managers, because the ETFs will trade intraday, the portfolio managers need to be up on the liquidity requirements in the baskets, in the various ETFs that they manage.

It's definitely a different portfolio management experience than you would see in a traditional mutual fund.

They need to make sure that they have sufficient cash intraday

You'll have 20 to 30 times the volume of ETF trading than you will see in primary net inflow or outflow for that matter.

The Rational Reminder Podcast

It's usually been inflow in these markets, but it's net inflow that you will see.

Canada's a little more tame and it's closer to somewhere between six to 10 times, but you definitely see a lot more trade in the market in these funds than you do see in net new issuance.
