ETF Update: Launches, Closures And News
Summary Every week, Seeking Alpha aggregates ETF updates in an effort to alert readers and contributors to changes in the market. Crowdsourcing is key, so please let us know about any events we may have missed. Have a view on something that’s coming up or a new fund? Submit an article. Welcome to a new Seeking Alpha feature, the SA ETF Update. My goal is to keep Seeking Alpha readers up to date on the ETF universe and to gain some visibility, both for the ETF community, and for me as its editor (so users know who to approach with issues, article ideas, to become a contributor, etc.) Every weekend, or every other weekend (depending on the reader response and submission volumes), we will highlight fund launches and closures for the week, as well as any news items that could impact ETF investors. To those of you who have not interacted with me in the past, allow me to quickly introduce myself. I am a Chicago native currently living in San Francisco after her partner decided he couldn’t do another Midwest winter (I personally don’t mind the snow but don’t miss shoveling out parking spots). ETFs have a special place in my heart, as my first job out of college was with ETFdb as an analyst and contributor. I have been the vertical editor for ETFs and Financials since April 2014 and with Seeking Alpha since September 2013. So without further fluff, here are some of the top breaking news items this week. Fund launches for the week of September 21, 2015 Fund closures for the week of September 21, 2015 PIMCO 3-7 Year U.S. Treasury ETF (NYSEARCA: FIVZ ) PIMCO 7-15 Year U.S. Treasury ETF (NYSEARCA: TENZ ) PIMCO Foreign Currency Strategy ETF (NYSEARCA: FORX ) As an author and editor I have found that constructive feedback is the best way to grow. What you would like to see discussed in the future? How can I improve this series to meet reader needs?
