An authorized participant (AP) sees an ETF trading at 100.20 while the underlying basket of stocks has a NAV of 100.00. To profit from this discrepancy, the AP should:

  1. Buy the ETF and sell the futures
  2. Short the ETF and wait for the NAV to rise
  3. Sell the basket and redeem ETF shares
  4. Buy the basket and create ETF shares
