The ETF That Trades While Tokyo Sleeps
A New York--listed ETF holds a global equity portfolio: of its value is US stocks and is Japanese stocks. It is a.m. in New York. The fund's last published net asset value, struck at yesterday's US close, was per share -- from the US sleeve and from the Japanese sleeve, where the Japanese holdings were marked at the Tokyo close preceding it, and Tokyo has not traded since.
Since that Tokyo close: Nikkei futures, which trade essentially around the clock, are up , and the yen has weakened against the dollar. The US sleeve is, at this moment, worth exactly per fund share.
What is the ETF worth right now? A client points out that the fund is quoted at , "a premium to NAV," and asks whether that is free money. What do you tell him?
