NEW LISTINGS Claymore Securities unveiled the Claymore/AlphaShares China All-Cap exchange-traded fund (NYSEArca: YAO) on October 19. The fund tracks an index from AlphaShares that includes only mainland China companies with market capitalizations of at least $500 million that have listings on exchanges outside of mainland China. YAO charges an expense ratio of 0.70 percent.
NEW FILINGS Barclays Global Investors, soon to become part of BlackRock, has filed for a family of funds that will invest in municipal bonds that mature during specific years. The six proposed funds will invest in muni bonds maturing in each year from 2012 to 2017. As the holdings reach maturity, they will transition to cash positions, with the funds’ assets distributed among the shareholders when the last holding matures. The funds will track indexes recently launched by Standard & Poor’s.
