By seadmin

In monitoring the ETF front for my Alert readers, I am frequently reporting news from our friends over at ProShares. The latest from them is their filing of a petition with the SEC for permission to launch 25 new leveraged, inverse and inverse-leveraged ETFs, including the first-ever ProShares international and fixed-income products.

The funds are designed to provide 200%, negative 100% and negative 200% exposure to the daily movement of their benchmark indexes. Like all ProShares ETFs, they charge 0.95% in expenses.

Here’s a list of the new ProShares short international offerings, which cover four very high-profile markets:

Short MSCI EAFE, UltraShort MSCI EAFE
Short MSCI Emerging Markets, UltraShort MSCI Emerging Markets
Short MSCI Japan, UltraShort MSCI Japan
Short FTSE/Xinhua China 25, UltraShort FTSE/Xinhua China 25

As ProShares makes its first foray into the short-fixed income arena, here is a list of its proposed bond- and yield-related inverse bond offerings:

Short Lehman Brothers 7-10 Year U.S. Treasury
UltraShort Lehman Brothers 7-10 Year U.S. Treasury
Short Lehman Brothers 20+ Year U.S. Treasury
UltraShort Lehman Brothers 20+ Year U.S. Treasury
Short iBoxx $ Liquid Investment Grade
UltraShort iBoxx $ Liquid Investment Grade
Short iBoxx $ Liquid High Yield
UltraShort iBoxx $ Liquid High Yield

Finally, here are the rest of the new proposed ProShares ETFs:

Ultra Dow Jones Select Biotechnology

It’s going to be another busy summer this year for new ETFs, and as always we’ll make sure you are on top of all the latest.
