  • BIS: Passive Funds Affect Prices: Evidence From The Most ETF-Dominated Asset Classes

    Date 02/07/2021

    Summary

    Focus

    This paper studies the size and source of exchange-traded funds' (ETFs) price impact in the most ETF-dominated asset classes: volatility (VIX) and commodities. These ETFs hold a much larger share of the underlying market compared with equities or bonds. The fraction of ETFs in the market for VIX futures often exceeds 40%, whereas it is less than 2% in the S&P 500 Index. Several episodes from the VIX market in 2018 and the oil market in 2020 showed that large ETF-induced trading can exacerbate price changes in turbulent times. To understand the risks of trading against ETFs, I propose a novel decomposition of ETF demand into three major components: calendar rebalancing, flow rebalancing and leverage rebalancing.
