Commentary .06 to Amex Rule 915 and Commentary .07 to Amex Rule 916, respectively (the ‘‘Listing Standards’’) establish the Exchange’s initial listing and maintenance standards. The Listing Standards permit the Exchange to list funds structured as open-end investment companies (such as the Fund), unit investment trust (‘‘UITs’’) or other similar entities, without having to file for approval with the Commission to list for trading options on such funds.3 The Exchange submits that the Fund meets substantially all of the Listing Standard requirements, and for the requirements that are not met, sufficient mechanisms exist that would provide the Exchange with adequate surveillance and regulatory information with respect to the Fund. The Fund is an open-end investment company designed to hold a portfolio of securities which tracks the performance of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index 3 Commentary .06 to Amex Rule 915 sets forth the initial listing and maintenance standards for shares or other securities (‘‘Exchange-Traded Fund Shares’’) that are principally traded on a national securities exchange or through the facilities of a national securities exchange and reported as a national market security, and that represent an interest in a registered investment company organized as an open-end management investment company, a unit investment trust or other similar entity.

The Index provides exposure to 25 emerging market countries in Europe, Asia, Africa, and Latin America. As of February 28, 2007, the Emerging Markets Index consisted of companies representing Argentina, Brazil, Chile, China, Colombia, the Czech Republic, Egypt, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Israel, Jordan, Malaysia, Mexico, Morocco, Pakistan, Peru, the Philippines, Poland, Russia, South Africa, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and Turkey. MSCI periodically adjusts the list of included countries to keep pace with the evolution in world markets (such adjustments made on a forward-looking basis, so past performance of the Emerging Markets Index always reflects actual country representation during the relevant period). The Fund generally invests at least 95% of its assets in the common stocks included in the Index. In order to improve portfolio liquidity and give the Fund additional flexibility to comply with the requirements of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code and other regulatory requirements and to manage future corporate actions and index changes in smaller markets, the Fund also has the authority to invest the remainder of its assets in securities that 4 The Emerging Markets Index includes approximately 848 equity components of companies located in emerging markets around the world.

MSCI (www.msci.com) calculates and maintains the Emerging Markets Index. The Index is a capitalization-weighted index whose component securities are adjusted for available float and must meet objective criteria for inclusion in the Index. The Index aims to capture 85% of the publicly available total market capitalization in each emerging market included in the Index. The Index is rebalanced quarterly, calculated in U.S. Dollars on a real time basis, and disseminated every 60 seconds during market trading hours. 5 As of February 28, 2007, the Fund was comprised of 863 securities and had total net assets of $13.5 billion. OAO Gazprom ADR had the greatest individual weight at 4.16%. The aggregate percentage weighting of the top 10 securities in the Fund was 18.1%. E:\FR\FM\26APN1.SGM 26APN1
