    “The JSE Limited has approved the listing of an additional 63 000 FNB S&P 500 Feeder ETF securities”

  • The expansion of the total securities in issue to 12,683,000 reflects the fund's ongoing growth and liquidity management.

    “Subsequent to this listing there will be 12 683 000 FNB S&P 500 Feeder ETF securities in issue.”

  • The issuance of 63,000 additional securities increases the total units in issue to 12,683,000, which may introduce potential tracking variance if the fund manager faces challenges in deploying capital efficiently into the underlying S&P 500 index constituents.

    “The JSE Limited has approved the listing of an additional 63 000 FNB S&P 500 Feeder ETF securities with effect from commencement of business on Tuesday, 21 April 2026, at a price of R 111.7894 per security. Subsequent to this listing there will be 12 683 000 FNB S&P 500 Feeder ETF securities in issue.”

  • The reliance on a feeder structure creates a structural dependency on the underlying offshore asset performance and liquidity, which is not within the direct control of the local management company.
