IShares Drafts Plans for 7 Bond ETFs
Plus, AdvisorShares changes subadvisor for long/short ETF, and more. |
MORNINGSTAR - Nov. 28, 2011 - By Robert Goldsborough
On Nov. 18, iShares submitted paperwork with the Securities and Exchange Commission seeking regulatory permission to roll out seven exchange-traded funds focusing on various corners of the fixed-income market that have not received much attention up to now from ETF providers.
Some details on each of the proposed ETFs:
- IShares Barclays CMBS Bond Fund would track the performance of an index of investment-grade commercial mortgage-backed securities, which are pools of commercial mortgages.
- IShares Barclays GNMA Bond Fund would track an index of mortgage-backed, pass-through securities issued by the Government National Mortgage Association, including fixed-rate mortgage pass-through securities with 15- or 30-year maturities.
- IShares Aaa - A Rated Corporate Bond Fund would track a market-cap-weighted index of dollar-denominated fixed-rate, taxable corporate bonds that are rated A3 or higher.
- IShares Industrials Sector Bond Fund would track an index of dollar-denominated, investment-grade corporate bonds issued by industrial corporate issuers in the U.S. bond market.
- IShares Barclays U.S. Treasury Bond Fund would track a cap-weighted index measuring the performance of U.S. Treasury obligations with a year or more to maturity.
- IShares Financials Sector Bond Fund would track a cap-weighted index of publicly issued, investment-grade U.S. corporate bonds in the financial sector.
- IShares Utilities Sector Bond would track a cap-weighted index of publicly issued, investment-grade U.S. corporate bonds in the utilities industry.
- All the proposed ETFs would track Barclays indexes. IShares did not provide tickers or expense ratios for any of the proposed ETFs.
