The manager of that fund then takes the money and invests the shares according to the fund's objective. With ETFs, there isn't a set number of shares and they are not launched through an IPO. Their components are revealed on a daily basis (instead of at least once per quarter, as in the case of most mutual funds), so there is still transparency. Santosh,
