New strategy ETF from WisdomTree on Xetra: access to companies worldwide with volatility protection through exposure to bond futures
November 12, 2024--Since Tuesday, a new exchange-traded fund issued by WisdomTree has been tradable on Xetra and Börse Frankfurt.
The WisdomTree Global Efficient Core UCITS ETF (Acc) invests in a broad range of large-cap companies from developed markets to allocate 90 per cent exposure to equities.
In addition, the ETF indirectly invests in futures contracts on global government bonds from the US, Germany and the UK with maturities of 2 to 30 years, to allocate 60 per cent of the funds to bonds.
10 per cent is held in cash in the currencies US$, €, GBP and JPY, which serve as collateral for the futures contracts on global government bonds.
The additional diversification provided by the bond futures contracts has the potential to reduce portfolio volatility and improve the return of a traditional 60/40 portfolio.

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.
