It is that time of year again. The MVIS Global Junior Miners Index completed their quarterly review. VanEck Vectors Junior Gold Miners ETF (GDXJ) tracks MVIS and thus any changes by MVIS will be reflected in GDXJ. Got that?
The changes, as taken from MVIS site, are as follows (https://www.mvis-indices.com/indices/hard-asset/mvis-global-junior-gold-miners):
Addition:
Aurelia Metals Ltd
Deletions:
AngloGold Ashanti
DRDGold

Hi Luis, is there a delay between the anouncement by MVIS and the rebalance of GDXJ that would make an arbitrage possible?
Thanks.

Announcement by MVIS is a week before the changes become effective in GDXJ. I find that it is difficult to arbitrate it. Usually the Monday following the MVIS announcement is the best time to play it and a few days after before it is effective the following Friday.
