ETF Kinetics

ETF Kinetics enhances the transparency of US primary and secondary market activity by delivering data feeds of aggregated ETF activity cleared through DTCC’s NSCC subsidiary.

• About

  ETF Kinetics enhances transparency of the ETF market by summarizing trading volumes across US exchanges as well the underlying basket creation and redemption of underlying securities as they are exchanged for creation units in the fund by Authorized Participants. The service will provide users with market insights into the gross number of creations or redemptions behind an ETFs primary market fund flow.

• How It Works

  

  • ETF Kinetics is sourced from the National Securities Clearing Corp, the only clearinghouse in the US that clears ETF activity.
  • Aggregated secondary market content is available only when there are ten unique brokers per trade date, security, and trade side so that underlying data can be properly aggregated. In addition, the number of authorized participants transacting has been excluded from the primary market content.

• Delivery

  Before the start of trading each day, the service will provide a summary of ETF trade activity on exchanges for the previous trading day. Underlying basket creation volumes, redemption volumes, and fund flow information are available at the end of each trading day on the T+3 basis.

  DTCC ETF Kinetics is delivered in comma-separated (CSV) files, standard output format, over the internet via SFTP which users can load into other applications or systems. Historical data, back to 2018 for primary and 2015 for secondary, is included with a daily subscription and available via one-time delivery upon request.

  ETF Kinetics is also available in the Snowflake Marketplace*
