Exchange-traded funds create new shares when more investors want to buy in. The FNB MidCap ETF is adding 1 million more units to the market, which is a standard daily procedure.

Bull case

  • The JSE has approved the listing of 1,000,000 additional FNB MidCap ETF securities at R10.6627 each, indicating active unit creation to meet market demand.
  • The total number of securities in issue will increase to 75,352,103, reflecting ongoing scale and liquidity for the fund.

Bear case

  • The issuance relies on a mechanical creation process, which introduces potential market impact costs during portfolio rebalancing for mid-cap constituents.
  • The increase in total units in issue may theoretically lead to potential tracking errors if the underlying mid-cap market depth is insufficient to absorb the fund's growing size.
