Currently, there are approximately 270 ETFs listed around the world. In the US alone, there are over 125 ETFs listed in the US on the American Stock Exchange, the Chicago Board of Options Exchange, and the New York Stock Exchange. ETFs are also traded on many stock exchanges around the world such as Toronto, London, Euronext, Deutsche Borse, Hong Kong and Singapore, just to name a few. Each day, more funds are being listed. As these funds continue to proliferate, there is a growing need for information to be accessed in a convenient fashion. With need in mind, exchangetradedfunds.com was established.
“The rapid expansion of ETFs in 2002 both in terms of volume and product listings demonstrate that despite the global downturn in equity markets, investors are still willing to commit new cash inflows to the markets. Why? ETF product architecture is superior since both equity and fixed income ETFs offer value and efficiency to investors and their financial advisors” according to James Pacetti, President of ETF International Associates Inc. .. ETF International projects that ETF assets will continue to grow by at least 35 % in 2003 and that new products including commodity and actively managed ETFs will be likely be introduced in Canada and Europe.
