Appendix 3: Distribution Trades What are distribution trades and how do they work? Distribution trades are opportunities to buy ishares ETFs cheaper than through a standard creation/buy order Dividend/coupon payments in distributing ETFs are structured to pay-out cash e.g. on a quarterly basis To minimise cash-drag of the ETF, dividends/coupons between distribution dates are reinvested in the underlying market As the ETF approaches ex-date, ishares used to sell securities in the market to obtain cash and meet the distribution obligations A distribution trade, routes the cash from a new investor to existing holders of the ETF to meet the distribution payment The creation of the new ETF shares is purely cash-based and there is no FX- or trading-costs involved as there is no need to reach out to the market and source the securities hence the creation of new ETF shares can be priced at a discount from normal condition. Cash reinvested Start of Year ishares Distribution Payment $$$ Cash reinvested Cash Creation $$$ New ETF shares Holder of ETF Cash reinvested Distributing Equity ETF Distributions at ishares ETF level to ETF holders Dividends of individual stocks in ETF New Investor Cash reinvested End of Year Only applies to distributing ETFs, ishares circulates open opportunities on a frequent basis Available on a first-come, first-serve basis only; available volume for distribution trades is limited Trade date is tied to the ex-date of the distribution, orders can be cancelled after having been submitted Source: BlackRock.
