Ameristock Corp. today announced the launch of trading in five new U.S. Treasury exchange traded funds on the American Stock Exchange today. The fund launches by Alameda, Calif.,-based Ameristock mark the company's first foray into the ETF universe. Ameristock has $527.6 million in assets under management. Each fund, which carries an expense ratio of 0.15%, aims to track a particular U.S. Treasury securities index owned and compiled by Ryan ALM Inc. The one-year U.S. Treasury (GKA) is based upon the return of a portfolio with a two-thirds weighting in the most recently auctioned six-month U.S. Treasury bill and a one-third weighting in the most recently auctioned two-year U.S. Treasury Note. The two-year U.S. Treasury (GKB), five-year U.S. Treasury (GKC), 10-Year U.S. Treasury (GKD) and 20-Year U.S. Treasury (GKE) exchange-traded funds seek to track the performance for the Ryan Treasury Index which is based upon the returns of those periods. Ryan ALM is a New York-based asset manager focused on asset and liability management.
