    “The JSE Limited has approved the listing of an additional 60 000 FNB S&P 500 Feeder ETF securities with effect from commencement of business on Tuesday, 14 April 2026, at a price of R 108.0767 per security.”

  • The increase in total securities in issue to 12,620,000 units demonstrates the continued growth and liquidity of the fund.

    “Subsequent to this listing, there will be 12 620 000 FNB S&P 500 Feeder ETF securities in issue.”

  • The expansion of the fund to 12,620,000 securities increases the scale of assets under management, which may introduce potential tracking error risks if the manager struggles to deploy capital efficiently into the underlying S&P 500 index.

    “Subsequent to this listing, there will be 12 620 000 FNB S&P 500 Feeder ETF securities in issue.”

  • The reliance on a feeder structure creates a dependency on the underlying offshore instrument, exposing local shareholders to heightened currency risk and potential liquidity gaps during periods of market stress.
