In a forward split, existing holders of the ETF will see an addition to the number of the ETF’s shares outstanding and a decrease in the fund’s price per share.
Conversely, in a reverse split, investors holding the ETF will see a reduction in the number of the ETF’s shares outstanding and a proportionate increase in the fund’s price per share.
Share splits are a useful tool for fund issuers to keep an ETF’s price in a convenient trading price range. Forward share splits keep the fund competitive by reducing the share price if it gets too high, whereas reverse splits are used to raise the value of an individual share.
