Fundamentals
Passive Flow Attribution
ETF Draft EffectWhen investors buy or sell ETFs like VYMI or VEA, the fund manager is mechanically forced to buy or sell BNS shares regardless of The Bank of Nova Scotia's individual fundamentals. We estimate $2.8B of passive capital is structurally linked to BNS through 8 tracked ETFs. Index rebalances and ETF creation/redemption cycles can create noticeable volume spikes unrelated to company news.
Passive exposure = Σ (ETF AUM × stock weight in ETF) across 8 tracked ETFs. Actual passive ownership is larger (includes mutual funds). Not investment advice.
