Odaily News: Asset management firm BlackRock Canada launched two exchange-traded funds on Monday: the iShares Equity + Bitcoin ETF Portfolio (IBQT) and the iShares Core MSCI All-International Equity Index ETF (XINT).
Both funds have begun trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange. IBQT allocates 97% of its assets to Canadian, U.S., international, and emerging market equities, with the remaining 3% allocated to Bitcoin.
IBQT gains its Bitcoin exposure through BlackRock's Canadian iShares Bitcoin ETF (IBIT), primarily holding other iShares ETFs rather than individual stocks. XINT tracks the MSCI ACWI ex North America IMI Index, covering more than 5,000 companies across over 40 developed and emerging markets outside of Canada and the United States.
Both funds are managed by BlackRock Asset Management Canada through the RBC iShares alliance. (Cointelegraph)
