Rydex|SGI, the Rockville, Md.-based ETF company known for its $1.7 billion Rydex S&P Equal Weight S&P 500 ETF (NYSEArca: RSP) as well as its CurrencyShares ETFs, filed updated papers with U.S. securities regulators detailing ticker symbols of the 19 equal-weighted equity ETFs focused on the U.S., global and emerging markets using mostly Russell indexes.

The inclusion of such details in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission often suggests that the launch date is nearing. Officials at Rydex|SGI weren’t immediately available to comment on the status of the funds’ registration.

The planned funds span a wide spectrum of Russell indexes, including the broad market 3000, the small-cap 2000, the large-cap 1000 and the Russell Midcap Index as well as global indexes. The filing segments the investment universe into growth and value ETFs using different Russell indexes. Three of the ETFs are based on MSCI indexes. The equal weighting methodology means the smallest and largest companies in each fund receive equal weight in the portfolio.
