An Authorized Participant (AP) notices an S&P 500 ETF is trading at 450.50 per share, while the net asset value (NAV) of the underlying basket of 500 stocks is exactly 450.00. To profit from this 10 basis point premium, the AP should:
- Sell the underlying stocks and buy the ETF
- Buy the ETF shares and hold them for the dividend
- Buy the underlying stocks and create new ETF shares
- Sell the underlying stocks and redeem ETF shares
