State Street ETFs
State Street Global Advisors has filed with the SEC for 17 new ETFs with most of them expected to be sector specific.
Some of these are going to be more narrowly focused that sector ETFs offered by isShares, Powershares and vanguard. For example, one will be an Outsourcing and IT Consulting ETF and another is a Regional Banking ETF.
Consider the first exchange-traded fund (ETF) to track a commodity index. The Deutsche Bank Commodity Index ETF (DBC) started trading just last month on the AMEX with an expense ratio of only 0.95%. The ETF gives investors exposure to a basket of the most liquid and deep commodity markets in the world. The current weightings are: 35%, light, sweet crude oil, 20% heating oil, 12.5% aluminum, 11.25% corn, 11.25% wheat and 10% gold.
