The NASDAQ Stock Market has listed two new exchange traded funds (ETFs) sponsored by Barclays Global Investors.

The list of new ETFs:

iShares S&P/Citigroup International Treasury Fund (Symbol:IGOV) seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the S&P/Citigroup International Treasury Bond Index Ex-US Index.

iShares S&P/Citigroup 1-3 Year International Treasury Bond Fund (Symbol:ISHG) seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the S&P/Citigroup International Treasury Bond Index Ex-US 1-3 Year Index.

These are the first two iShares ETFs to list on NASDAQ in 2009, compared to eight iShares ETF listings in 2008 and 5 listings in 2007.

“Barclays Global Investors is a leading global provider of investment management products and NASDAQ is pleased to list two more of their innovative exchange traded funds,” says John Jacobs, executive vice president, NASDAQ OMX Global Financial Products.

“The listing of these products on NASDAQ ensures they will receive extremely high levels of support in order to maximize their liquidity and visibility.”
