Institutional European ETF total notional volumes on Tradeweb have grown by an annualized rate of 32% over the last five years, a trend particularly driven by fixed income ETFs, even during challenging conditions for the underlying bond markets.<\/p>\n<p>iNAVs provide intraday indications of an ETF\u2019s value based on the market price of its constituents, and are calculated and published every 15 seconds during trading hours. Accurate, robust iNAVs can increase market transparency by helping investors to assess whether an ETF is being fairly priced. As a result of ETFs\u2019 rising popularity, Tradeweb has experienced growing demand from ETF issuers and institutional clients for an iNAV calculation service that allows investors to efficiently evaluate their positions, make better-informed trading decisions, and enhance their Transaction Cost Analysis (TCA).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat makes Tradeweb iNAVs unique is the data source and quality, especially for fixed income ETFs,\u201d said <strong><span style=\"color: #56aa1c;\">Lisa Schirf, Global Head of Data &amp; Analytics at Tradeweb<\/span><\/strong>. \u201cThey are based on executable streaming bond prices, so they provide a more immediate and realistic view of the ETF market at any given point in time. This is hugely valuable during volatile market conditions, and we are proud to see the world\u2019s largest ETF issuer, BlackRock, adopt our iNAVs right from the start.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Tradeweb iNAV calculation for fixed income ETFs applies a waterfall methodology prioritising live price contributions from Tradeweb\u2019s platform and using Tradeweb\u2019s Automated Intelligent Pricing (Ai-Price), which delivers advanced algorithmic reference pricing. The process is similar to establishing a fund\u2019s official closing NAV, but is performed intraday. Tradeweb applies a similar approach to produce iNAVs for equity, commodity and fund of fund ETFs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are very supportive of Tradeweb, as a leading electronic trading platform, leveraging its strengths to bring greater transparency to ETF investors through the provision of iNAVs for our UCITS iShares ETF range,\u201d commented <span style=\"color: #56aa1c;\"><strong>Jason Warr, Global Co-Head of ETF Markets at BlackRock<\/strong><\/span>. \u201cWe are continually working to enhance the trading environment and overall market efficiency for ETFs. This is particularly true for fixed income ETFs and we believe Tradeweb\u2019s market insight can help develop further ETF market efficiency for bond ETFs, and across other asset classes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tradeweb plans to extend its iNAV calculation service across products and geographies in close collaboration with clients. In addition to single iNAV prices, which are publicly available for transparency purposes, Tradeweb offers an enhanced iNAV data feed product comprising iNAV Bid, iNAV Mid, and iNAV Ask values. These can help investors monitor trading thresholds, provide input to new and existing trading algorithms, and improve TCA. They can also serve as reliable indicators of ETF premiums and discounts, as well as an independent evaluation of internal fair value models.<\/p>\n<p>Source : ETFWorld.co.uk<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tradeweb Markets Inc. announces it has launched a market data service to calculate real-time Indicative Net Asset Values (iNAVs) for exchange-traded funds (ETFs).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":52607,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"telegram_tosend":false,"telegram_tosend_message":"","telegram_tosend_target":0,"footnotes":"","_wpscp_schedule_draft_date":"","_wpscp_schedule_republish_date":"","_wpscppro_advance_schedule":false,"_wpscppro_advance_schedule_date":"","_wpscppro_dont_share_socialmedia":false,"_wpscppro_custom_social_share_image":0,"_facebook_share_type":"","_twitter_share_type":"","_linkedin_share_type":"","_pinterest_share_type":"","_linkedin_share_type_page":"","_instagram_share_type":"","_medium_share_type":"","_threads_share_type":"","_google_business_share_type":"","_selected_social_profile":[],"_wpsp_enable_custom_social_template":false,"_wpsp_social_scheduling":{"enabled":false,"datetime":null,"platforms":[],"status":"template_only","dateOption":"today","timeOption":"now","customDays":"","customHours":"","customDate":"","customTime":"","schedulingType":"absolute"},"_wpsp_active_default_template":true},"categories":[12],"tags":[203],"class_list":["post-52605","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-etf-analysis","tag-tradeweb"],"blocksy_meta":{"styles_descriptor":{"styles":{"desktop":"","tablet":"","mobile":""},"google_fonts":[],"version":6}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.etfworld.com\/co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52605","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.etfworld.com\/co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.etfworld.com\/co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.etfworld.com\/co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.etfworld.com\/co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=52605"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.etfworld.com\/co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52605\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":52608,"href":"https:\/\/www.etfworld.com\/co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52605\/revisions\/52608"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.etfworld.com\/co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/52607"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.etfworld.com\/co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=52605"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.etfworld.com\/co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=52605"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.etfworld.com\/co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=52605"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
