iShares has unveiled its inaugural range of precious metals ETCs on the London Stock Exchange, offering UK investors exposure to the performance of physical commodities.
David Bower, Managing Director at iShares discusses the growth of the ETF industry, how advisers are using ETFs, how the RDR affects that usage and what criteria to apply when selecting an ETF.
iShares has launched the first ETF providing liquid exposure to the European high yield debt market.
Head of iShares International, Rory Tobin, has left the firm and Mike Latham has been appointed global head of iShares.
Several European ETF issuers will be able to launch ETFs on the S&P 500 index as of 17 May, when Standard and Poor's exclusive arrangement with iShares ends.
