New on Xetra: iShares expands its product range to include additional maturity ETFs on corporate bonds
November 7, 2024--Since Thursday, eight new exchange-traded funds (ETFs) from iShares have been tradable via Xetra and Börse Frankfurt.
With these new ETFs from the iBonds product range, iShares is expanding its range of fixed-term bond ETFs in both distribution and accumulation share classes. These new ETFs offer investors access to a portfolio of euro-denominated, investment-grade, fixed-rate corporate bonds that expire in the same calendar year as the ETF's maturity date.
Issuers are selected according to ESG criteria and those with controversial business areas are excluded.
At the end of the term, the shares are liquidated, and the portfolio value is paid out to the shareholders. For distributing share classes, investors receive regular interest payments.
Investors can choose between maturities of 2031, 2032, 2033 or 2034.

New active ETFs from J.P. Morgan on Xetra: access to US companies in combination with an overlay strategy
November 6, 2024--Since Wednesday, four new actively managed exchange-traded funds issued by J.P. Morgan Asset Management have been tradable on Xetra and Börse Frankfurt.
The JPM US Equity Premium Income Active UCITS ETF pursues an active investment strategy, investing in a portfolio consisting mainly of US companies and selling out-of-the-money call options to generate additional income.
In return, the unlimited upside potential of the equity portfolio is foregone.
The written call options on equities or equity indices, usually on the reference index, are adjusted weekly to the changing market environment. The S&P 500 Index is the benchmark.
The JPM Nasdaq Equity Premium Income Active UCITS ETF pursues the same approach, but uses the Nasdaq-100 as the reference index.
