原文: 1. 什麼是FTD? Failures to deliver (FTD) form in markets when one party in a trading contract fails to deliver on their obligation. 2. 為什麼會出現FTD? Due to the exclusive exception provided by the delivery requirement (Rule 204), an authorised participant (AP) and/or market maker in the stock market can legally delay delivery of shares for three additional trading days (referred to as T+6) beyond the standard T+3 clearing time, thus lawfully creating extra FTDs. In other words, the AP has the option to sell short ETF shares and then fail to deliver them at the settlement date. Additionally, Rule 2043 provides an extended period of up to 35 calendar days (referred to as T+35) to close out certain FTDs if an FTD position results from the sale of a security that a person is deemed to own and that such person intends to deliver as soon as all restrictions on delivery have been removed (SEC, 2015). 3. 什麼是豁免? These exemptions have raised concerns about abuse of these T+d rules and its implications for financial markets. The possibility of unethical short-selling activities was highlighted by the action of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) and Nasdaq in 2016 in fining Wedbush Securities, an ETF AP, for submitting ‘naked’ ETF redemption orders on behalf of broker/dealer clients. 4. ETF如何建立倉位及什麼是贖回? The creation process of ETF shares involves the buying of all the underlying securities in their appropriate weightings to reach creation unit size (ranging from 25,000 to 600,000 shares per creation unit). After creation, the AP delivers the securities to the ETF sponsor6 , and in return the ETF sponsor bundles the securities into the ETF wrapper and delivers the ETF shares to the AP. The newly created shares are then introduced to the secondary market. Redemption is the reverse process, which involves ‘unwrapping’ ETF units back into the individual securities and selling them on the market. However, the AP has a choice in this redemption process to purchase ETF shares without redeeming them for the underlying securities. In this option, cumulating shares of ETF pose an inventory risk. 5. ETF與裸空的關係? FTDs are also associated with naked short selling. The term ‘naked short selling’ is used to describe a situation where a trading participant sells a share without owning or borrowing it (Putninš, 2009). In the case of naked short selling, an FTD occurs if such a trade is not covered by the T+3 date, i.e., the owner of the short position did not own or borrow the stock after that date.
