PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 23, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Global Strategy Board, the independent international research firm and a leading provider of ETF databases for institutions and individuals has announced the expansion of its popular knowledge product, the Master ETF Database. The ETF Database, now available in Excel download format, contains precise categories for research purposes and is one of the most comprehensive and accurate ETF databases available.

As the number of exchange traded funds continues to grow, Global Strategy Board has become a market leader in providing up-to-date ETF information for international clients. With its launch of the Master ETF Directory in 2009, Global Strategy Board added to its already full suite of knowledge products that included six directories of exchange traded funds and exchange traded notes as well as regular reports on global macro research, geopolitics, and the energy markets. Its Master ETF Database includes not only popular ETFs such as the Financial Select Sector SPDR (NYSE:XLF), the ProShares UltraShort Oil & Gas (NYSE:DUG), and the iShares FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index (NYSE:FXI), but also numerous less widely-known products available in the markets such as the iShares MSCI Ireland Capped Investable Market Index Fund (NYSE:EIRL).
