Over the past couple of weeks, 60 plus new ETFs have been added to the constituent list datafile.  This includes a new sponsor (to us), Schwab and their 14 ETFs.  We needed an assist on this group so thank you very much to Schwab’s ETF Capital Markets for their help.  Additionally, EG Shares’ Gems are all now covered.  Total of ETFs in the constituent list file is now 848 plus 371 indexes.  Here is the current list if you haven’t seen it for a while:

We now offer full coverage of all ETFs with equity or debt constituents.  Also, as a result of our constituent list work, we can make available a one of a kind report found nowhere else on the Internet.  This new “Constituent List Change Report” provides a complete listing of constituent additions and removals from the indexes and ETFs covered in the full ConstituentData42.csv datafile. Similar to the full constituent lists datafile, this report is updated daily by 2:00 am est and again just before the market open. The latter report includes late updates from iShares and State Street. Here is the URL:

The constituent list datafile now includes all US traded ETFs with equity or fixed income constituents where the sponsor provides readily accessible lists.  This is a total of 790 ETFs.  Only two, small, currently offered ETFs are excluded due to their lists not being available.

Certainly, this is noteworthy, but it also allows us to enter an ongoing maintenance and data completion mode. Bloomberg symbols are currently provided on most constituents.  ISDN, CUSIP or SEDOL are provided on many constituents.  Both of these will now be cross-referenced to provide these identifiers on substantially all constituents.

Although currently outstanding ETFs are adjusted as identified throughout the year, at the end of each quarter, a complete “inventory” is done on each sponsor to make sure all ETF additions/deletions are properly reflected in the datafile.  That is coming up next week.

MasterDATA just created a Facebook page at the following URL:

http://www.facebook.com/pages/Los-Angeles-CA/MasterDATA/174108279267974?v=app_4949752878

The purpose of the new Facebook pages is to encourage interaction, not just between MasterDATA and individual subscribers and site visitors, but to broaden a communication into a true conversation.  Instead of you asking a question and we answer it, the objective is that not only will we respond but anyone having an opinion can express their opinions or questions.  In turn, that may spawn another question or opinion or even difference of opinion.   All of the above are fine.  We will always do out best to respond with a worthy answer, but others may also answer with an answer just as worthy or even better.  Many times a new “better idea” springs from a conversation.

We hope you join us on Facebook and help us build the conversation about breadth data and analysis.  Thank you.

182 Canadian traded ETFs are now included in the new “Complete Canadian ETF List ” available at http://www.masterdata.com/HelpFiles/Canadian_ETF_List.htm.  An additional list includes the 37 Canadian ETNs (Exchange Traded Notes) currently trading.  As with the U.S. ETF Lists, this new list will be revised at least quarterly.  The six Canadian ETF/ETN providers are listed listed along with links to their websites at http://www.masterdata.com/Content/Sites/Canadian-ETF-Sponsors.htm.

In case you hadn’t noticed, Claymore is now Guggenheim Funds.  Mostly, however, leveraged and inverse ETFS from ProShares and a couple from Direxion dominate the new additions this quarter.  Frankly, several more ProShares and Direxion could have been added if constituent lists were available.  To their credit, both of these ETF sponsors post their current constituent lists.  Unfortunately, constituents often include swaps, derivatives and future contracts.  Not very enlightening for breadth analysis.  We therefore use a “virtual” constituent list for these ETFs … the current constituent list for the index upon which they are based.
