Two new active ETFs from iShares on Xetra: exposure to US and developed market equities through active investment strategies

March 26, 2024--Since Tuesday, two new actively managed exchange traded funds from iShares have been tradable on the trading venues Xetra and Börse Frankfurt.
The iShares U.S. Equity High Income UCITS ETF pursues an active investment strategy designed to generate income and capital growth with lower volatility than the broader US equity market. The strategy applied by the portfolio manager essentially consists of the following components:

Holding long positions in US large capitalisation equities, taking into account an ESG investment policy,
Selling call options on a large capitalisation US equity index, such as the S&P 500 Index, to generate additional income; and
Buying futures on a large capitalisation US equity index, such as the S&P 500 Index, to reduce the impact of a potential profit cap from the sale of call options.

The iShares World Equity High Income UCITS ETF follows a similar approach, but focuses on developed market large and mid-capitalisation equities. For this purpose, call options are sold and futures are bought on indices such as the S&P 500, FTSE 100, Nikkei and EURO STOXX 50. n October 1, which fell on a weekend.
