In-Kind transactions result from the ETF receiving a basket of securities (including Perseus Mining Ltd) in exchange for securities in the ETF.
In-Kind transactions refers to how market makers of exchange traded funds (ETF) can reconcile the differences between net asset value (NAV) and market values when shares of the ETFs are bought and sold. The market maker can arbitrage the ETF shares with the shares that make up the underlying portfolio, by creating or redeeming lots of the ETF shares. This structure causes ETFs to be treated as "in kind" transactions where investors only pay capital gains like with stocks, as opposed to other fees associated with mutual funds.
