The iFTSE TMT is the UK's second ETF, joining iShares iFTSE100, which was launched in April also by BGI. The annual management charges for the iFTSE TMT will be 0.5%.
"Now that the iFTSE 100 has successfully established itself on extraMARK, we expect the number and range of ETFs to grow significantly," said Martin Wheatley, Director of Markets at London Stock Exchange.
