The VAS NAV has tracked the ASX 300 pretty closely today: both are up (just less than) 0.9% for the day.

The last traded price of VAS generally won't track the index as closely as the NAV on a short timescale. For whatever reason, people will buy & sell ETFs at some distance from the NAV. For example, the closing price of VAS last Thursday was $88.00 which was a 0.84% premium to the NAV of $87.27.

So cool to realise that other people also follow this ETF in HC.

I believe the difference (which tends to occur close to trimester ends) relates with the fact that in addition to the portfolio of shares, the fund also includes the cash received from distributions. Naturally, on VAS ex-dividend day, the share price is reduced accordingly.
