Profits From Lending ETFs to Traders



ETFs are different than mutual funds, in that they are traded on exchanges. Mostly they are indexes that are not managed by advisers.

From time to time, their securities may be lent for purposes of short selling, It’s a source of added income. The stock lending profits of such ETF funds can be substantial.

Do earnings go back to shareholders of the ETF, or to its managers?
In some funds, almost all go to the shareholders; in other funds as little as half may be returned to holders.

You should check your ETF investments, to see how your managers treat these earnings.(See the Earl J. Weinreb NewsHole® comments and @BusinessNewshole at Twitter.)
