| Summary: | ETFs have fast become one of the most popular investment instruments not only in developed markets but also in emerging markets. This study examines the prices and premiums of a sample of country-specific Latin American ETFs, a highly popular group of ETFs with investors, but relatively unexplored in academic literature. Regression analysis is used to measure price efficiency and the persistence of deviations from net asset value. I find that although price efficiency is high, other factors, beside fundamental value explain the variation in prices. Most of the ETFs in the sample are more likely to trade at a premium and deviations from net asset value persist at least for a day. |
