iShares Lists Seven New ETFs On NYSE Euronext

NYSE Euronext is pleased to announce that iShares, the Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) arm of Barclays Global Investors today has listed seven new Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) on the Amsterdam market of NYSE Euronext. Trading began in five accumulating versions of iShares largest and most successful equity-based ETFs, that reinvest dividend income and two government bond ETFs.

The NYSE Euronext ETF segment continues to grow and is very successful both on its European and US markets. In Europe, NYSE Euronext now has 487 listings of 439 ETFs based on more than 265 indices.

Scott Ebner, Senior Vice President, European Exchange Traded Products at NYSE Euronext said: “We are very happy to include these new iShares to our ETF segment. The fast growth of the segment clearly indicates the popularity of ETFs amongst European issuers and investors. So far this year, already 97 ETFs have been listed on NYSE Euronext European markets.”

By contrast, the accumulating funds will automatically reinvest any dividend income into the fund, rather than paying it to investors. The newly listed accumulating funds are:
