Cambria Debuts Shareholder-Yield ETF
Cambria Investment Management rolled out its first ETF under its own exemptive relief authorization. The Cambria Shareholder Yield ETF (NYSEArca: SYLD) is an actively managed fund that focuses on delivering high shareholder yield. Companies held by the fund exhibit solid cash flows, strong growth potential and higher-than-average yields. SYLD comes with an expense ratio of 0.59 percent.

IndexIQ Adds Bull Funds To Active Filing
IndexIQ updated its initial filing for a bevy of actively managed funds with the addition of four more proposed ETFs. The four "Bull" funds will complement four of the "Bear" funds in the first version of the filing. The added funds will list on the NYSE Arca exchange and include:

  • IQ Bull Large Cap U.S. ETF, which will trade under the symbol "BULL"
  • IQ Bull Small Cap U.S. ETF
  • IQ Bull International ETF
  • IQ Bull Emerging Markets ETF

WisdomTree Files For 'Mystery' ETF
A recent filing from WisdomTree outlines the firm's plans to launch the Vident International Equity Fund. However, beyond explaining that the fund will invest in developed- and emerging-market equities via an index created by Vident Financial, there is precious little information in the filing. The filing is notable if only because WisdomTree's passively managed funds have up to this point only tracked in-house indexes. The fund will trade on the Nasdaq under the ticker "VIDI." The filing did not include fees.
