NASDAQ OMX Lists Barclays Inverse U.S. Treasury Composite ETNs
July 15 2014 - 9:53AM
First Barclays-Issued ETNs to List on NASDAQ
TAPR Provides Investors with Exposure to Rising
U.S. Treasury Yields
NASDAQ OMX today announced that Barclays Bank PLC will list new
exchange traded notes (ETNs), Barclays Inverse U.S. Treasury
Composite ETNs (Nasdaq:TAPR), on The NASDAQ Stock Market®
(NASDAQ®). TAPR will begin trading on NASDAQ today, July 15,
2014.
"TAPR expands and complements our existing range of fixed income
ETNs, and offers investors a differentiated strategy to hedge
against or benefit from rising U.S. dollar interest rates," said
Ian Merrill, Head of ETNs Americas. "TAPR is also the first
Barclays-issued ETN to be listed on NASDAQ."
The ETNs are designed to help investors position for rising U.S.
dollar Treasury yields by tracking the Barclays Inverse U.S.
Treasury Futures Composite Index™ (the "Index"). The Index employs
a strategy that tracks the sum of the returns of periodically
rebalanced synthetic short positions in equal face values of each
of the 2-year, 5-year, 10-year, long-bond and ultra-long U.S.
Treasury futures contracts.
"We are thrilled to embark on a closer partnership with Barclays
and introduce their unique exchange traded products into one of the
single largest pools of liquidity," said Dave LaValle, Head of
Exchange Traded Product Listings at NASDAQ OMX. "As an operator of
leading electronic trading venues in asset classes including cash
equities and fixed income, we continue to facilitate various
investment opportunities in these products."
