First life-cycle ETFs debut

The five TDAX Independence ETFs are a joint venture between TD Ameritrade and XShares Advisors.

The first life-cycle exchange traded funds began trading today, TD Ameritrade Holding Corp. of Omaha, Neb., said in a statement.
The five TDAX Independence ETFs, a joint venture between TD Ameritrade and XShares Advisors LLC of New York, seek to replicate life cycle indexes created by Zacks Investment Research of Chicago.
