They are: Vanguard Short-Term Inflation Protected Securities Index ETF Highland/iBoxx Senior Loan ETF PIMCO Foreign Currency Strategy ETF IShares Core MSCI Emerging Markets ETF PowerShares S&P 500 High Dividend Portfolio In addition to its judgements, Morningstar also made this interesting observation: "the pace of new launches has slowed down considerably--in the past six months, just 54 exchange-traded products have launched. That implies an annual run rate of just over 100 launches, or less than half of the ETF industry's product-launch rate during 2011 and the first part of 2012."
