NEW FILINGS

iShares Plans Date-Specific Muni ETFs

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.
