Introduction

Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have gained significant popularity in recent years as an investment vehicle that offers investors the opportunity to diversify their portfolios with a single trade. ETFs are investment funds traded on stock exchanges, much like individual stocks, and typically track an index, commodity, or specific sector. The unique structure of ETFs allows for intra-day trading and provides investors with diversification benefits, liquidity, and cost-efficiency.

Market efficiency is a key concept in finance that examines the degree to which asset prices reflect all available information. In an efficient market, asset prices quickly adjust to new information, making it difficult for investors to consistently outperform the market. The efficient market hypothesis (EMH) posits that it is not possible to consistently beat the market, as asset prices always reflect all available information.

This thesis explores the relationship between ETFs and market efficiency, seeking to understand how ETF trading impacts market efficiency and whether ETFs provide an efficient means of accessing diversified investment opportunities. By examining the impact of ETF trading on market efficiency, this study aims to contribute to the understanding of how ETFs influence market dynamics and the efficiency of asset pricing.
