BATS ETF Marketplace Welcomes Additional MomentumShares ETF

BATS Global Markets (BATS), the #1 U.S. market for the trading of exchange-traded funds (ETFs), welcomes the MomentumShares International Quantitative Momentum ETF (BATS: IMOM), which began trading today on BATS Exchange.

The MomentumShares International Quantitative Momentum ETF invests primarily in the exchange-listed common stock of international companies. It follows the December 2, 2015, launch of the MomentumShares U.S. Quantitative Momentum ETF (BATS: QMOM).

MomentumShares is advised by Alpha Architect, an SEC-registered investment firm that seeks to design affordable, active-management strategies for ETFs and Separately Managed Accounts. Alpha Architect’s strategies are rooted in the science of behavioral finance with a goal of beating behavioral bias. Alpha Architect has two of its ValueShares ETFs also listed on BATS Exchange.

With today’s additions, there are now four Alpha Architect-advised ETFs listed on the BATS ETF Marketplace.

BATS ranks as the top exchange operator for ETF trading with the BATS Exchanges – BYX, BZX, EGDA, EDGX – executing 26.5% of all U.S. ETF trading in November. BATS has been the #1 market for ETF trading for every month of 2015 as well as the #2 U.S. market for overall equities trading.
