Exchange Traded Products

Exchange-traded products (ETPs), which include exchange-traded funds (ETFs), exchange-traded notes (ETNs) and exchange-traded vehicles (ETVs), are one of the fastest growing investment products in the world. Their ability to combine the simplicity of stocks with the diversified risk of mutual funds continues to make them attractive to investors. So attractive, in fact, that in the first half of 2015, five out of 10 of the most actively traded securities were ETPs – all of which are listed on NYSE Arca.

NYSE Arca is the premier venue for listing and trading ETPs, offering unparalleled market quality, liquidity and execution from one of the world's most recognizable financial brands. For issuers, we provide end-to-end service from idea inception, to index development and calculation services, to product listing and trading. For liquidity providers, we offer a robust trading platform and enhanced market making programs that support our exchange position as the deepest source of ETP liquidity.

Today's ETP Landscape

NYSE Arca has become the leading U.S. exchange for ETPs. We listed our first ETP in 2000 and, since then, we've launched the world's first ETV and the first ever commodity-based ETF, and were the first exchange to enhance our generic ETP listings standards to include international and fixed income products.

We are proud to be the #1 exchange in ETP Volume and Listings
