Understanding Exchange Traded Funds
As of June 2007, SPY ETF has become the largest exchange stock trading fund in the world. It is sponsored by PDR services LLC, which in itself is a subsidiary of American Stock Exchange LLC. It does, however, have some considerable competition on the market. The most formidable ETFs holding stock picks are listed on the New York Stock exchange as IVV, RSP, SH, RSU, SSO, RSW, SDS, UPRO and SPXU.
An exchange-traded fund (ETF) is a method of trading on stock exchanges. In principle, an ETF is worth the same as the stocks they represent. This is valued at whatever those assets are worth over the day's trading. As of 2009, there are 680 exchange-traded funds on the US markets, accounting for $610 billion in assets.
Their popularity is based on the easy diversification that they facilitate across the entire index. In addition, ETFs are usually much cheaper to manage than most other trading options. They are also much more tax efficient than shares and stocks. As they can be bought at any time during the day they are also more flexible. Unlike other options, there is much more market transparency to ETFs.
State Street Global Advisors, the Boston asset manager, launched SPDRs in January 1993. They were formulated by Nathan Moss, who worked on the American Stock exchange. In May 1995, MidCap SPDRs were introduced to the market. They can be found on the New York Stock Exchange, listed as "SPY" and "MDY".
The Index Participation Shares (IDSs) of the late 1980s is the precursor to the ETF. IDSs were traded on both the Philadelphia Stock Exchange (PSE) and the American Stock Exchange (ASE). The US courts put a stop to there use following a lawsuit from Chicago Mercantile Exchange in 1990.
Following this the Toronto Stock Exchange began trading its own version of Index Participation Shares. These were so popular that the American Stock exchange started looking for something similar that could pass US regulation. The result was the ETF. The Standard & Poor's Depositary Receipts (SPDRs) became the first ETF in the United States. They are often referred to as "spiders" or "spyders". - 23311
