BOSTON (AFX) -- The New York Stock Exchange said Tuesday that as of Sept. 1, it has approved amendments removing order size and frequency restrictions for all exchange-traded funds trading on the Big Board. Previously, the NYSE had a 10,000 share size restriction of automatic execution orders in ETFs, and a 30-second frequency restriction. The exchange is home to 22 ETFs, and in July Barclays Global Investors announced it would move 61 of its iShares ETFs to the NYSE.
