Usage

  getHoldings.ipath(Symbols, env = .GlobalEnv,
    auto.assign = TRUE)

Arguments

Symbols	character vector of iPath ETN ticker symbols. Presently, if Symbols is missing, all the iPath Symbols found by scraping http://www.ipathetn.com/us/product_information will be used. However, in the future this may change to require that Symbols is not missing
env	environment in which to store holdings data
auto.assign	TRUE/FALSE. If TRUE, the holdings data will be stored in an object that has a name that is he Symbol appended with “.h”

Value

either the names of the objects that contain the holdings if called with auto.assign=TRUE, or a list of the holdings data. The returned data will be in objects classed as holdings that are data.frames with Weights (0-100) in the first column, and the Names of the holdings in the second column. The rownames are the the ticker symbols.

Note

these funds are not included in the masterDATA csv used by getHoldings. Therefore, getHoldings will not dispatch getHoldings.ipath – it must be called directly.
