Reading about Cathie Wood and ARKK woes just got me thinking.
Say there are two ETFs. Both have the exact same 10 holdings, equal proportions. Over a period of a month, all 10 stocks went up by 10%.
Let's say the second one was much more popular (such as ARKK during its massive run-up), and much more people bought this ETF during that month.
My question is, are ETF values calculated in a way that both ETFs have gone up exactly by 10% during this time? Or, as so many people bought the second ETF, that one goes up more in value, just like a stock would, due to inflow of cash?
Sorry if the question is naive, and thanks in advance
