The number of ETFs continue to grow, but we could use a few more. Roger Nusbaum at ETF Investor updates his wish list of ETFs. "I stumbled across a couple of articles by Matt Haugen, who writes for
Index Universe." They include:
- Currency ETF that is leveraged
- ETF made out of the Rogers International Commodity Index. Currently
it is only tradable as a futures product. The Rogers index has 35
different commodities. Db Commodity Index Tracking Fund (DBC)
is 55% in oil. There is a commodity ETF in the works from iShares that
will be 80% energy. - Certain regions of the world isolated into ETFs.
I would like to see central and Eastern Europe put into the ETF format. - Subsectors of the market with both domestic and foreign stocks.
There are too many to mention, but I will say that if the industry goes
down this road there is likely to be a mix of useful and useless. - Fixed income ETFs.
- Inverse index funds
