## Learn more about Average Daily Volume (ADV)

Average daily volume (ADV) refers to the average number of shares traded over a specific period, typically measured on a daily basis. ADV is a key metric used to assess the liquidity and popularity of an ETF. ETFs with higher ADV tend to be more liquid and have tighter bid-ask spreads, making them easier to buy and sell at a fair price. ADV is calculated by dividing the total trading volume of an ETF over a specific period by the number of trading days in that period.
