Fundamentals
Passive Flow Attribution
ETF Draft EffectWhen investors buy or sell ETFs like EWC or VIGI, the fund manager is mechanically forced to buy or sell RY shares regardless of Royal Bank of Canada's individual fundamentals. We estimate $7.9B of passive capital is structurally linked to RY through 8 tracked ETFs. This substantial passive exposure means that ETF inflows and outflows — not company fundamentals — can dominate daily volume on this stock.
Passive exposure = Σ (ETF AUM × stock weight in ETF) across 8 tracked ETFs. Actual passive ownership is larger (includes mutual funds). Not investment advice.
ETF Contagion Visualizer
Simulate a price drop in Royal Bank of Canada to visualize passive redemption contagion across ETFs and collateral stocks.
If Royal Bank of Canada (RY) experiences a significant drawdown, ETF redemptions can create collateral selling pressure on co-held stocks. Our model identifies The Toronto-Dominion Bank (TD) as the most exposed collateral stock, sharing 1 ETFs with RY. This is the "Passive Contagion" effect described in the Inelastic Market Hypothesis.
Contagion model based on shared ETF exposure and constituent weights across 10 tracked ETFs. Estimated selling pressure is a simplified model — actual impact depends on market liquidity, ETF redemption mechanics, and market-maker activity.
RY Ownership Dynamics
Passive funds hold 1 in every 31 RY shares, reducing daily market volatility.
Royal Bank of Canada (RY) exerts measurable gravity on the passive index market, currently representing 8.2% of the EWC (EWC) and 4.3% of the VIGI (VIGI). Across 9 tracked ETFs, approximately 44M shares (3.2% of float) are held by passive funds and rarely trade on the open market. As passive ownership grows, index inclusion changes may increasingly drive price discovery.
ETFs with Highest RY Exposure
Float lock-up computed from 9 ETFs tracked by SecuritiesDB. Actual passive ownership is higher (includes mutual funds, pension funds, etc.).
RY Institutional Volume Profile
252-day volume distribution by price level. The Point of Control (POC) marks — the price where the most institutional volume transacted — an implicit support/resistance floor.
The highest-volume price zone for Royal Bank of Canada over the past year sits near $146.58 (18% of 252-day volume). The current price of $191.13 trades 30.4% above this institutional floor — a sign of upside momentum, though a pullback to the POC zone is a common reversion target. The highly concentrated volume profile (18% at POC) indicates strong consensus on fair value — institutional participants have repeatedly transacted near this price.
