As with all stocks and shares traded on exchanges our ETFs are occasionally subject to corporate actions and trading suspension. Where possible we will look to notify customers in advance - although this is not always possible.
For broader context, some common cases are outlined in this article.
Corporate Events
These can range from share splits and fund liquidations to delistings and mergers. The specific details of each event will vary each time.
Trading halt or suspension
Occasionally the exchange itself may halt or suspend trading for a period of time. This can be for a number of reasons. The more common examples include high volatility in the share price and liquidity issues (a shortage of buyers and sellers wanting to trade the assets).
Removing a fund
Following a corporate event the fund you were holding may no longer exist. In this case the actual weight of the fund in the portfolio will go down to 0% as the value may have been transferred to a different fund or paid out as cash.
Following these changes it's important you review the target weights of your portfolio. This will ensure that AutoInvest, Rebalance and Portfolio Orders will continue to function properly.
Please follow this article if you need to review target weights and remove a fund: Remove a fund from your portfolio.
