Product Description

Product Description

The first technical guide to ETFs geared towards professional advisors, institutional investors, and financial professionals seeking to understand the mechanics of ETFs

Author/trader Dave Abner has created The ETF Handbook as a resource for everyone utilizing these sophisticated tools. With this book as your guide, you′ll learn from a professional ETF trader with practical guidance for valuation and best execution techniques.

This reliable handbook skillfully touches upon the technical details of ETFs not covered elsewhere. From the mechanics of ETF development to pricing and valuation techniques, this guide provides a complete background on ETF mechanics and offers extensive insights on using them from a professional′s perspective. It addresses how to position ETFs efficiently within a portfolio, and examines who ETF users are and how the funds are employed. Along the way, Abner also offers recommendations on where to find data related to these financial instruments.

  • Contains the technical ETF information needed by today′s financial professionals
  • Includes pricing and valuation spreadsheets and an instructional webinar that walks you through the world of ETFs
  • Touches upon topics such as calculating NAV (net asset value) and best practices for executing ETF order flow

Filled with in–depth insights and expert advice, The ETF Handbook contains ETF information that is critical for virtually every financial professional.

From the Inside Flap

Exchange traded funds (ETFs) are an incredibly flexible and valuable tool, but using them requires a certain amount of sophistication, even among professional money managers, traders, institutional investors, and financial advisors. Understanding the proper methods of valuing and trading ETFs allows investors to fully utilize their capabilities, and enables the trading community to nurture the growth of this young industry.

With this in mind, author Dave Abner, a professional ETF trader with extensive experience in valuation and best execution techniques, has created The ETF Handbook. Written as a resource for those working with these products, The ETF Handbook focuses on the technical details of ETFs not covered elsewhere. From the mechanics of ETF development to pricing and valuation techniques, this guide provides a complete background on ETF mechanics and offers extensive insights on using them—all from a professional′s perspective. Along the way, it also addresses how to position ETFs efficiently within a portfolio, and examines who ETF users are, and how the funds are employed.

Divided into four informative parts, The ETF Handbook:

  • Details the different structures of exchange traded products, the myriad methodologies underlying these products, and the ways of bringing them to market

  • Walks you through the process of calculating the fair value of various exchange traded products

  • Explores many of the trading techniques being used today and looks at some concepts for trading ETFs that might develop in the future

  • Offers recommendations on where to find essential data related to these financial instruments

The companion Web site for this book contains several of the spreadsheets Abner uses for calculating the net asset value (NAV) and intraday indicative value (IIV) as well as a webinar entitled "Trading and Valuing Exchange Traded Funds." Throughout the text, you′ll find icons that indicate which concepts in the book are presented in the webinar.

While many of the ETF books on the market are geared towards individual investors or traders, this one is very different. Unique both in its content and perspective, The ETF Handbook will help professionals keep up with the incredible growth and change occurring in the exchange traded products universe, and show you what it takes to value, trade, and profit from these popular products.

David Abner gives a very insightful view in to the world of ETF from a holistic perspective. I found it highly useful in its content and terminology, as well as a complete eye opener to the scale of ETF's and some of the benefits that the product bring. Along with being well written and suitable for all levels of understanding, David also highlights some of the more complex areas, making it extremely useful for both seasoned professionals and individuals with a general interest.

Must Have 2 July 2010
By Paul Niergarth - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
If you are an investment professional and are trading, or interested in trading ETF's this book should be on your desk. I have reviewed several ETF publications in the past few months. I returned all of them except for this one. As we know ETF's are not just another equity. This publication exposes the myth that posted volume of an ETF is its liquidity. It also explains the best method of buying and selling ETF. This point alone can save you hundreds of thousands on transaction fees. (Of course this is on an institutional size trade.) It also empowers you with the knowledge of how the market makers and broker dealers work with these products. With over 800 listed ETF's for just the United States, as a professional money manager you owe it to yourself to read book. It will assist you in doing your due diligence on these investments. As you can tell I think this is a must read!

The Technical Side of ETFs 25 Jan 2011
By LeRoy - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book is written for the financial professional, not the layman.

I routinely buy and sell ETFs, but this book is too technical for me.

I will use it only for the lists of ETFs included.

The best book in ETFs 24 May 2010
By Lazaros Kallimouratoglou - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Dave Abner has done a superb job. The ETF Handbook is the absolute reference for the novice investor and the seasoned professional. Abner describes in a simple way the introduction process up to exchange listing, trading methods and analyzes the players and the markets. It is the only book that explains how to price an ETF. Smart and detailed, all the information from an industry "insider".
