Fundamentals
Passive Flow Attribution
ETF Draft EffectWhen investors buy or sell ETFs like KBE or KRE, the fund manager is mechanically forced to buy or sell CATY shares regardless of Cathay General Bancorp's individual fundamentals. We estimate $178M of passive capital is structurally linked to CATY through 8 tracked ETFs. Passive flows have a limited but growing influence on CATY's daily trading dynamics.
Passive exposure = Σ (ETF AUM × stock weight in ETF) across 8 tracked ETFs. Actual passive ownership is larger (includes mutual funds). Not investment advice.
