Fifth ETF To Short Longer-Term Treasuries Launches
August 20, 2009 8:00 pm
|
ProShares has launched its third inverse exchange-traded fund designed to short longer-term Treasuries. The ProShares Short 20+ Year Treasury (NYSEArca: TBF) is expected to charge an annual expense ratio of 0.95. Along with a pair offered by rival Direxion, the new offering represents the fifth ETF on the market taking short positions in the typically highly liquid government-backed fixed-income market. But the newest is different from the rest. It offers less juice than others already on the market. TBF seeks to provide 100% inverse exposure to the daily performance of its underlying Barclays Capital index. ProShares has two other inverse ETFs aimed at providing 200% inverse coverage: The UltraShort 7-10 Year Treasury (NYSEArca: PST) and the UltraShort 20+ Year Treasury (NYSEArca: TBT). Direxion also has a pair of inverse Treasury ETFs: The Daily 10-Year Treasury Bear 3x Shares (NYSEArca: TYO) and the Daily 30-Year Treasury Bear 3x Shares (NYSEArca: TMV). Both provide 300% inverse exposure to their underlying indexes and charge expense ratios of 0.95% each.

Inside ETFs: A Reality Check
The Inside ETFs conference last month was a great opportunity for an ETF analyst like me to escape my ivory tower.Summing Sector SPDRS = SPY?
You’d think owning the nine sector SPDRs in proportion to their weightings in the S&P 500 is a way to recreate SPY. But you’d be wrong.
