BATS Welcomes New WisdomTree ETF to Its U.S. Market

WisdomTree Global SmallCap Dividend Fund Began Trading Today

KANSAS CITY, Mo. & NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- BATS Global Markets (BATS), the #1 U.S. market for the trading of exchange-traded funds (ETFs), today welcomed the WisdomTree Global SmallCap Dividend Fund (BATS: GSD), which began trading today on the BATS ETF Marketplace.

The WisdomTree Global SmallCap Dividend Fund seeks to track the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the WisdomTree Global SmallCap Dividend Index. WisdomTree now has four ETFs listed on BATS, having listed their first three ETFs on October 29, 2015. Additional information about the new ETF is available on the WisdomTree website.

“We’re pleased to add another WisdomTree ETF to the BATS ETF Marketplace,” said Laura Morrison, Senior Vice President, Global Head of Exchange-Traded Products at BATS. “We are excited to expand our partnership and will continue to work hard to deliver solid market quality for every product that lists on BATS.”

BATS offers a variety of programs and offerings designed to enhance market quality for issuers listed on BATS and market makers trading BATS-list ETFs, including the enhanced BATS Lead Market Maker (LMM) program. This program, which was rolled out on October 1st is designed to further enhance the market quality of all ETPs listed on BATS, regardless of size or liquidity. Unlike traditional market maker programs that target individual symbols, the BATS LMM program incentivizes market makers for their participation in BATS-listed ETPs, earning larger incentives for providing liquidity and reduced costs for removing liquidity in their assigned ETPs. LMMs also earn further economic incentives for making markets in additional ETP products listed on BATS.

Additional information on the BATS LMM program and other offerings is available on the BATS ETF Marketplace website.

BATS ranks as the top exchange operator for ETF trading with the BATS Exchanges – BYX, BZX, EGDA, EDGX – executing 27.2% of all ETF trading in October. BATS has been the #1 U.S. market for ETF trading for every month of 2015 and the #2 U.S. market for overall equities trading.

ETF issuers interested in joining the many firms listing on BATS may email [email protected].
