BlackRock to Transition Primary Listing Venue for 50 iShares ETFs

BlackRock will transition the primary listing venue for 50 iShares ETFs.

As we have stated previously, diversification is an important element of iShares listing strategy, said Samara Cohen, Americas Head of iShares Capital Markets at BlackRock. A thriving market for ETFs requires a robust, resilient ecosystem, with multiple participants committed to continuous innovation and improving the client experience.

BlackRock maintains strong relationships with all major exchanges, and we applaud NYSE ARCA, BATS and Nasdaq for their ongoing work towards improvements in trading during all market conditions.

The following funds are scheduled to move on or about August 1st, 2017:
