1. A good question, and one that I do not have the answer to. I would guess that ML/Amex would give you a record of the respective share prices of the underlying biotechs at the time of the HOLDR purchase.

2. Again, I don't know, but if I had to venture a guess I would imagine that Merrill would evaluate each quarterly/annually, or spontaneously, like the Dow does. I don't think an investor can change the makeup of the HOLDR short of redeeming it. That's my understanding. Telebras (TBH) was the first HOLDR that Merrill issued, and I would assume that the same rules would apply to BBH.

Appalling that BBH is trading but there is no detailed information (at least from my cursory search) information on it on either ML.com or Amex.com. Nothing but a press release it seems.

Sure as heck not calling Merrill, that's for sure. My phone would be ringing off the hook from Merrill's coldcallers. I am still busy fending off the fort from Smith Barney attacks during dinner. :-)
