It is important to point out that none of these funds trades a ton of volume regularly, as IGE and GUNR average a bit north of 200,000 shares in average daily volume while the remaining funds average much less in terms of average daily volume.
This being said, ample liquidity exists from an underlying portfolio standpoint in order to trade these funds in size given the proper technique and utilization of trading desks with expertise in liquidity provision when needed. With market volumes off considerably in recent sessions, we note that some portfolio managers may have interest in investigating this space in further depth, and point out a webinar held by IndexIQ tomorrow on Thursday, January 17, with registration details available here.
