Eleven Market Vectors ETFs To Begin Trading on NYSE Arca

  
    
  
  
    
      New York-based asset manager Van Eck Global today announced that eleven 
      Market Vectors exchange-traded funds (ETFs) will transfer from the NYSE 
      Alternext US LLC (formerly the American Stock Exchange) to the NYSE Arca 
      listing and trading platform by year-end. This move comes as a result of 
      the completed acquisition of the former American Stock Exchange by NYSE 
      Euronext, the holding company for NYSE Arca. Current shareholders of the 
      Market Vectors ETFs are not required to take any action as a result of 
      this change.

      money managers helping investors achieve greater diversification through 
      global investing. Today the firm continues that 50+ year tradition by 
      offering global investment choices in hard assets, emerging markets, 
      precious metals including gold, and other specialized asset classes.
    
    
      Market Vectors exchange-traded products have been offered by Van Eck 
      Global since 2006 when the firm launched the nation’s 
      first gold mining ETF. Today, Market Vectors ETFs and ETNs span several 
      asset classes, including equities, municipal bonds and currency markets.
    
    
      Van Eck Global also offers mutual funds, insurance trust funds, separate 
      accounts and alternative investments. Designed for investors seeking 
      innovative choices for portfolio diversification, Van Eck Global’s 
      investment products are often categorized in asset classes having 
      returns with low correlations to those of more traditional U.S. equity 
      and fixed income investments.

      sector, market, economic, political, foreign currency, world event and
