Fundsters interested in the booming world of fixed-income ETFs may want to take a look at today's Wall Street Journal "Fund Track" column. Ian Salisbury notes that BlackRock's iShares [see profile] is no longer "the only game in town," in the words of an iShares spokeswoman, though the ETF titan's 30-plus fixed-income ETFs still hold about 70 percent of the $130-plus billion in fixed-income ETF assets.

The WSJ quotes an ETF-focused advisor, Russell Wild, and highlights a number of growing fixed-income ETFs, including: the $12.5 billion iShares barclays Aggregate Bond ETF; the $349 million Pimco Enhanced Shore Maturity Strategy ETF [see profile]; the $855 million PowerShares Emerging Markets Sovereign Debt ETF [see profile]; the $1.3 billion SPDR Nuveen Barclays Capital Short-Term Municipal Bond ETF from State Street [see profile]; and the $9 billion Vanguard Total Bond Market ETF [see profile]
