These issues bring the number of ETFs listed on the Spanish stock exchange to 53, thus significantly increasing the number of underlying assets available, with new European, US, Latin American and Asian equity indices.

It is worth mentioning the following indices as new underlying assets: the German DAX benchmark, the FTSE/Xinhua of China, the MSCI of Brazil and the MSCI Asia as well as the different indices of the DAX and the Euro Stoxx 50 families.

The ETF segment of the Spanish stock exchange started up on 20 July 2006 and since creation has provided both retail and institutional investors with a broad range of investment opportunities. Exchange traded funds (ETFs) are a hybrid investment vehicle between funds and shares that combine the best of both worlds in a single stock exchange trade.
