ETF providers roll out fixed-income offerings
Fri, 09 May 2008, 01:44 Investors.com/Investor's Business Daily Municipal bonds and short selling are likely to be the next growth area for fixed-income exchange traded funds and notes. Fixed-income ETFs have made a big splash over the last year. In 2007, less than a dozen ETFs were in the field, covering only the most liquid markets. Now there are 58. Munis have been one beneficiary. Barclays Global Investors, State Street Global Advisors and Van Eck Global have all launched general muni bond ETFs over the last several months.

Frontier market ETFs and new access to related themes
Thu, 08 May 2008, 21:07 Seeking Alpha/Index Universe WisdomTree has filed for the Middle East Dividend Fund that will include Bahrain, Dubai, Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Morocco, Oman, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. The prospectus has no info on country weightings (none that I found anyway), but surprisingly 54% of the companies have market caps greater than USD2 billion. WisdomTree has an awful lot of very interesting funds on the shelf that I'd love to see listed, but thus far have not. Some of the filings are so old now that I doubt they will list, so we'll see if this Middle East fund ever lists or not.
ETF strategy aims to profit from USD4 gas
Thu, 08 May 2008, 19:46 SmartMoney The ETF industry has been accused of launching products simply for the sake of getting a certain strategy to market. That's one of the reasons dozens of funds languish with little assets and thin trading volumes. However, it scored a home run when fund companies like PowerShares, State Street (STT: 72.73, -1.27, -1.71%) and Barclays (BCS: 36.19, -0.24, -0.65%) launched commodity ETFs that track everything from gold and silver to cattle and crops to oil and gas. As a group these funds hold well over USD30 billion.
