GSR Globalshares Ftse Emerging Markets

Old Mutual Global Index Trackers, a South Africa based index tracker fund manager specializing in Developed Countries ex US, announced today the opening of trading for its second ETF available to American investors: GlobalShares FTSE Developed Countries ex US Fund (NYSE:GSD).

GSD was designed to offer American investors the opportunity to gain exposure to 23 developed countries, including Canada, Japan, the United Kingdom, France and Germany without overlapping their U.S. stock portfolios. The Fund seeks to replicate the performance of the FTSE Developed ex US Index, which is comprised of over 1,400 stocks and may be attractive to those seeking the middle ground between a still nervous domestic economy and more uncertain Developed Countries ex US.

GlobalShares products are being introduced in order to offer a complementary and diversified suite of investment options for retail and institutional investors. GSD can be used in conjunction with GlobalShares Developed Countries ex US Fund (GSR) to dynamically adjust asset allocation between developed and Developed Countries ex US.

"After the successful launch of GSR, we are excited to introduce GSD and will be rolling out an additional three ETFs within the coming weeks," said Tendai Musikavanhu, CEO of Old Mutual Global Index Trackers. "We continue to seek to deliver top level product and diversification, while also maintaining our commitment to providing low-cost investor access to emerging and developed markets outside the U.S."

An investment in Funds is subject to investment risk, including the possible loss of principal amount invested. Fund returns may not match the return of their respective index, known as non-correlation risk, due to operating use of sampling techniques, derivatives and expenses incurred by the Funds. Foreign or emerging market securities involve certain risks and increased volatility not associated with investing solely in the U.S. These risks include currency fluctuations, economic or financial instability, and lack of timely or reliable financial information. The Funds may also invest in medium sized companies which involve greater risk than is customarily associated with investing in more established companies.

Risk is inherent in all investing. An investment in the Funds involves risks similar to those of investing in any fund of equity securities traded on an exchange. Even if the Funds achieve their objectives, the value of the Shares may decline, more or less, in correlation with any decline in value of the Underlying Index. Overall stock values could decline generally or could underperform other investments. The Funds may not be fully invested at times, for reasons such as a result of cash flows into the Funds or reserves of cash held by the Funds to meet redemptions and expenses. The Funds' Shares will change in value, and you could lose money by investing in the Funds. The Funds may not achieve their objectives.
