Cboe Global Markets, Inc. (Cboe: CBOE), one of the world's largest exchange holding companies, today welcomed 16 iPath® Exchange Traded Notes (ETNs) from Barclays to the Cboe Listed Marketplace – one of the single largest transfers the exchange has handled to date.
With the addition of these ETNs, Cboe is now the primary listing venue for an expanded suite of iPath® ETNs, including Barclays' entire set of volatility ETNs. There are currently a total of 18 Barclays ETNs, with approximately $1.62 billion dollars in consolidated assets under management, listed on Cboe.
The 16 ETNs started trading on Cboe on May 13, 2019, and were delisted from both the NYSE Arca and NASDAQ Stock Market.
"In today's highly competitive marketplace, we're pleased that issuers continually turn to Cboe as their preferred destination for new exchange-traded product (ETP) launches, as well as transfers of existing products from other venues," said Laura Morrison, Senior Vice President, Global Head of Listings at Cboe. "Cboe offers ETP issuers a marketplace specifically designed for ETPs with market-maker incentives and outstanding customer service. We look forward to expanding our relationship with Barclays, and providing the highest quality markets and services to support their success."
In recent years, Cboe has continued to strengthen its leadership as the premier listing venue for issuers. The company currently has over 320 ETPs listed on its U.S. market from more than 50 unique issuers globally.
In 2018, Cboe was notably the listing venue for: 6 of the top 10 highest-volume new exchange-traded funds (ETFs); 6 of the top 10 ETFs with the highest auction volume; and 3 of the top 5 largest ETF launches by assets last year.
Cboe welcomed Barclays as a new issuer in January of 2018 and launched two iPath® volatility ETNs, including the flagship iPath® Series B S&P 500® VIX Short-Term Futures™ ETN (Cboe: VXX), which are designed to provide investors with exposure to the Cboe Volatility Index® (VIX® Index). Considered by many to be the world's premier barometer of equity market volatility, the VIX Index is based on real-time prices of S&P 500 Index options (SPX) and is designed to reflect investors' consensus view of future expected stock market volatility.
