Exchange Traded Concepts plans expansion of ETF-in-a-Box platform

By Toni Weeks

San Diego, Oct. 20 - Exchange Traded Concepts has filed requests for exemptive relief with the Securities and Exchange Commission to issue fixed-income and actively managed exchange-traded funds, according to a press release.

The company has also requested relief to issue domestic and international funds that employ fund-of-funds, 130/30 and balanced strategies.

The filings reflect the company's effort to expand its ETF-in-a-Box platform, which allows current and prospective partners to launch ETFs across the full spectrum of investment strategies in an accelerated, cost-efficient manner under their own labels.

"Our plan to broaden the types of funds available on the ETF-in-a-Box platform is a response to the continued innovation demonstrated by investment strategists," said chief executive officer Garrett Stevens in the release. "These filings mark our latest commitment to provide investment managers and financial advisors, both in the United States and abroad, a single partner to quarterback all the operational and regulatory complexities of running an ETF so they can focus on growing their business and brand."

Products on the ETC platform that employ these strategies are expected to launch in 2012, he added.

Exchange Traded Concepts is a private-label ETF advisor with passive exemptive relief from the SEC to launch domestic and international index-tracking 40 Act ETFs through a complete turnkey solution. The company is located in Oklahoma City.
