Derivatives and securities exchange network Cboe Global Markets said subsidiary Cboe Australia listed new Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) from iShares by BlackRock, a global asset management company on Thursday.
This led the company to become the first global asset manager to list its iShares ETFs on each of Cboe’s listings exchanges in United States, Canada, Australia, UK and European Union.
The firm said three of the funds will begin trading on Cboe Australia on Friday, while two Australian hedged versions of the funds are scheduled to launch on February 23.
A subsidiary of BlackRock, iShares has been in the ETF marketplace for over two decades and specializes in fixed income, investing, equities, sustainable and thematic investing, as well as ETFs.
Cboe Australia will have the listings of new iShares by BlackRock factor ETFs including iShares MSCI World ex Australia Momentum ETF (IMTM), iShares MSCI World ex Australia Quality ETF (IQLT), iShares MSCI World ex Australia Value ETF (IVLU), and the Australian hedged versions of IVLU and IQLT.
Formerly known as Chi-X, Cboe Australia was launched in October 2011. In mid-2021 Cboe Global Markets finalized its acquisition of Chi-X Asia Pacific Holdings, along with its subsidiaries, including Chi-X Australia Pty Ltd.
The firm investment product platform offers trading across a range of asset classes and unique products, including warrants and funds which are quoted and traded on Cboe Australia.
