ETF's For You To Use

By Mike Swanson

As of June 2007, SPY ETF has become the largest exchange stock trading fund in the world. It is sponsored by PDR services LLC, which in itself is a subsidiary of American Stock Exchange LLC. It does, however, have some considerable competition on the market. The most formidable ETFs holding stock picks are listed on the New York Stock exchange as IVV, RSP, SH, RSU, SSO, RSW, SDS, UPRO and SPXU.

An exchange-traded fund (ETF) is a method of trading on stock exchanges. In principle, an ETF is worth the same as the stocks they represent. This is valued at whatever those assets are worth over the day's trading. As of 2009, there are 680 exchange-traded funds on the US markets, accounting for $610 billion in assets.

SPDRs were launched in January 1993 by the Boston asset manager, State Street Global Advisors. They were devised by Nathan Moss, an American Stock exchange executive. In May 1995 they were joined by the MidCap SPDRs. They are now listed on the New York Stock Exchange as "SPY" and as "MDY".

State Street Global Advisors, the Boston asset manager, launched SPDRs in January 1993. They were formulated by Nathan Moss, who worked on the American Stock exchange. In May 1995, MidCap SPDRs were introduced to the market. They can be found on the New York Stock Exchange, listed as "SPY" and "MDY".

They were conceived in the late 1980s, and had their origins in Index Participation Shares (IDSs). These were briefly traded on a variety of stock exchanges. The Chicago Mercantile Exchange then served a lawsuit that stopped sales of IDSs.

Following this the Toronto Stock Exchange began trading its own version of Index Participation Shares. These were so popular that the American Stock exchange started looking for something similar that could pass US regulation. The result was the ETF. The Standard & Poor's Depositary Receipts (SPDRs) became the first ETF in the United States. They are often referred to as "spiders" or "spyders". - 23208
