Claymore Introduces BulletShares Target Maturity Bond ETFs
June 08, 2010 at 13:52 PM EDT
Claymore launched a suite of seven fixed-term investment grade corporate bond ETFs yesterday (6/7/2010). Known as BulletShares, these ETFs are constructed for potential monthly distributions and a final distribution at maturity. The funds have designated years of maturity ranging from 2011 to 2017 and will terminate on or about December 31st of their respective maturity year.
