Creation Basket
A creation basket is the fixed list of securities (and sometimes cash) that an authorized participant delivers to an ETF sponsor to create new shares of an exchange-traded fund, with the basket designed to mirror the fund’s underlying index.
Example: An authorized participant assembles a creation basket that maps to a fund’s index holdings and delivers it to the sponsor in exchange for a block of new ETF shares, enabling liquidity as investor demand changes.
