December 8th, 2005 · 2 Comments

Barclays Canada is launching four new ETFs that will start trading on the TSX shortly:

  1. iUnits Materials Sector Index Fund (XMA) provides exposure to the materials sector (minerals, mining and forestry) by tracking the S&P Capped Materials Index. MER is 0.55%.
  2. iUnits Income Trust Sector Index Fund (XTR) provides exposure to the income trust sector by tracking the S&P TSX Capped Income Trust Index. MER is 0.55%.
  3. iUnits Dividend Index Fund (XDV) tracks the Dow Jones Canada Select Dividend Index comprised of 30 stocks weighted by the dividend yield. MER is 0.50%.
  4. iUnits Real Return Bond Fund (XRB) provides inflation protection for bond investors by tracking the Scotia Capital Real Return Bond Index. MER is 0.35%.

Barclays Global has also listed the iShares COMEX Gold Trust (AMEX: IAU), which tracks the daily price movement of gold bullion (equal to 1/10th of an ounce) on the TSX (trades in Canadian dollars under ticker “IGT”).

    Thanks for the post. I’m adding some Canadian Equities to my portfolio and I was thinking about a broad-market Canadian ETF, but now I see a lot more options to be sector specific. Do you have an opinion on the Income Trust Fund (XTR)? I’m unfamiliar with exactly how income trusts work in Canada.
