O. Tosun and I. Kalak: ETF Ownership and Corporate Cash Holdings

August 21, 2019

Do exchange-traded funds (ETFs) influence corporate cash-holding decisions? Consistent with the managerial learning channel from the stock market, we document strong evidence that firms included in ETF baskets have higher cash-holding levels.

Further, we identify changes in revenues, external financing, share repurchases, and net working capital as potential channels through which cash holdings increase due to higher ETF ownership.
