US-based Nuveen Investments has launched a Web-based portal for exchange-traded funds (ETFs), including closed-end exchange-traded funds and index-based exchange-traded funds.
The ETF Connect Web site provides detailed information on more than 500 funds from 105 sponsors, as well as educational materials and a news archive devoted to ETF news.
The investment management company is responding to a need to provide clients with an extensive resource as more and more investors are combining different types of ETFs in their portfolios, explains Bill Adams, executive vice president, Nuveen Investments.
Pricing information (calculated daily for most funds) is provided by Thomson Financial/Wiesenberger. Users can also access daily net asset value (NAV) information; search for funds by ticker, fund size, fund performance, or sponsor; download profiles of each fund, including information on assets, leverage, shares outstanding, top holdings, and investment objective.
