As a pioneer in the creation of exchange traded funds (ETFs), NYSE Alternext US launched a whole new class of securities that has grown to more than $300 billion in assets. Today, NYSE Alternext US remains the center of development and the global market leader, with more than 350 listed ETFs.

Each ETF is a basket of securities that is designed to generally track an index*—broad stock or bond market, stock industry sector, or international stock—yet trades like a single stock.

• Tax efficiency**
• Lower costs** (ordinary brokerage commissions apply)
• Transparency
• Buying and selling flexibility
• All day tracking and trading
• Diversification*
• A wide array of investment strategies
