Question

If a UCITS ETF is open for direct redemption for secondary market investors, what should be the redemption price?

Answer

[ESMA 34-43-392 UCITS Q&A, section 3, Q&A 3a] If secondary market investors are given the possibility to redeem directly at the level of the UCITS ETF, the redemption price should be the Net Asset Value (NAV) from which costs may be deducted. According to paragraph 24 of the guidelines the costs of direct redemptions should not be excessive.
