NEW LISTINGS

Claymore’s Capital Markets ETF

The move to slice and dice the market got a new challenge last week, as Claymore Securities rolled out three new exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that take a total approach to capturing the market.

The Claymore U.S.-1 Capital Markets Index ETF (AMEX: UEM) seeks to cover the investable U.S. universe, including stocks, bonds and "liquidity" instruments?the short-term fixed-income instruments that make up money market accounts. The fund’s underlying index includes 2,000 stocks and 6,000+ bonds and aims to represent the "investable" capital markets in the U.S.

The other two ETFs are subsets of the first one. The Claymore U.S. Capital Markets Bond ETF (AMEX: UBD) holds the investment-grade bond portion of the U.S.-1 V Capital Markets Index ETF. It excludes high-yield bonds and asset-backed securities. The Claymore U.S. Capital Markets Micro-Term Fixed Income ETF (AMEX: ULQ) includes investment-grade issues with maturities of one year or less. The portfolio will also hold investment-grade commercial paper and certificates of deposits.

UEM charges 0.37%. UBD and ULQ charge 0.27%.

NETS Adds Another
Northern Trust added yet another ETF to its massive ETF filing. The NETS FTSE SET 30 Index Fund will be tied to a popular benchmark of stocks in Thailand. Assuming it launches soon, it will be the first U.S. ETF tied to that country. There are now 28 NETS ETFs in registration. There is no word yet on when the first NETS ETF will launch.
