Trading ETFs
ETFs hold a basket of investments, like mutual funds, but trade on exchanges like stocks. Here are a few things to keep in mind when trading ETFs:
Pricing
ETFs have two sets of prices: market price and net asset value (NAV).
Market price
• ETFs are bought and sold on exchanges at the market price. The market price can change throughout the trading day. Factors like supply, demand, and changes in the
value of an ETF’s investments can effect the market price.
• You can get price quotes any time during the trading day. Quotes have two parts: bid and ask.
• The bid is the highest price a buyer is willing to pay if you want to sell your ETF units. The ask is the lowest price a seller is willing to accept if you want to buy ETF units.
The difference between the two is called the “bid-ask spread”.
• In general, a smaller bid-ask spread means the ETF is more liquid. That means you are more likely to get the price you expect.
Net asset value (NAV)
• Like mutual funds, ETFs have a NAV. It is calculated after the close of each trading day and reflects the value of an ETF’s investments at that point in time.
• NAV is used to calculate financial information for reporting purposes – like the returns shown in this document.
Orders
There are two main options for placing trades: market orders and limit orders. A market order lets you buy or sell units at the current market price. A limit order lets you set
the price at which you are willing to buy or sell units.
Timing
In general, market prices of ETFs can be more volatile around the start and end of the trading day. Consider using a limit order or placing a trade at another time during the
trading day.

2. ETF expenses
You don’t pay these expenses directly. They affect you because they reduce the ETF's returns.
As of June 30, 2023, the ETF's expenses were 0.33% of its value. This equals $3.30 for every $1,000 invested.
Trailing commission
The trailing commission is an ongoing commission. It is paid for as long as you own the ETF. It is for the services and advice that your representative and their firm provide
to you.
BMO Exchange Traded Funds are managed and administered by BMO Asset Management Inc., an investment fund manager and portfolio manager and separate legal entity from Bank of Montreal.
