The NYSE today launched the Claymore/AlphaShares China Real Estate ETF on NYSE Arca under the ticker symbol “TAO”.  This is the first of its kind as an ETF that is set up to track the performance of the AlphaShares China Real Estate Index. 

The index is designed to measure and monitor the performance of the investable universe of publicly-traded companies and real estate investment trusts deriving a majority of their revenues from the development, management and/or ownership of property in China or the Special Administrative Regions of China (Hong Kong and Macau).

You can see a full list of holdings on the Claymore site here.
