Some New ETFs Quickly Find Firm Footing

Some of the new ETFs launched this year are different spins on concepts that have previously proven successful with investors. The PowerShares International BuyBack Achievers Portfolio (NYSEArca: IPKW), the global equivalent of the wildly popular PowerShares Buyback Achievers Portfolio (NYSEArca: PKW), is less than 60 days old and already has almost $15 million in AUM.

The SPDR International High Yield Bond ETF (NYSEArca: IJNK) is the international answer to the SPDR Barclays High Yield Bond ETF (NYSEArca: JNK). IJNK debuted in mid-March and already has nearly $43 million in AUM. [ETF Sequels Worth Viewing]
