Sixteen US ETFs listed, including PRIMECAP's first at 0.68%

Sixteen US ETFs launched in the week to Oct. 22, including PRIMECAP's first exchange-traded fund, three Allspring municipal and high-yield funds and three William Blair funds, per ETF Express's weekly roundup.

PRIMECAP Odyssey Discovery ETF (NYSE Arca: POMG) charges 0.68% and aims to beat the Russell Midcap Growth Index over three to five years, per its prospectus. Schwab International Bond ETF (NYSE Arca: SCIN) charges 0.06% and tracks a dollar-hedged ICE index of non-dollar investment-grade debt, according to ETF Trends.

Advisors who hold dollar-hedged international bonds now have a 0.06% option to price against Vanguard's BNDX, which SCIN undercuts by one basis point, according to ETF Trends.

Allspring accounts for three of the new funds: High Yield Municipal Bond (AHYM), Short-Term High Income (AHIC) and Strategic Municipal Bond (ASTM). William Blair listed Emerging Income (WINC), Emerging Markets Equity (WBEM) and International Equity (WBIE); Thrivent listed Large Cap Stock (TLCE) and Securitized Income (TSIE); and Calamos listed the Least-Of Autocallable Income ETF (CAYN).

The rest of the US launches are thematic or single-strategy: iShares Future Robotics and Related Technologies Active ETF (NYSE Arca: RBTX), Global X Small Modular Reactor ETF (SMRZ), Defiance AI Infrastructure Bond ETF (NYSE Arca: AIBN), Emerging Markets AI Mag 3 ETF (EMAG) and GMO International Equity Fund, ETF Class (NYSE Arca: GMIE).

Outside North America, Fidelity International launched Dynamic Buffer active ETFs in Europe and Mirae Asset Global Investments launched the TIGER Global MLCC and Substrate ETF in Korea, the roundup says.
