New iShares bond ETF launched on Xetra
September 8, 2017--A new exchange traded fund (ETF) issued by iShares has been tradable on Xetra
and Börse Frankfurt since Friday.
The iShares USD Floating Rate Bond UCITS ETF EUR Hedged (Dist) enables
investors to participate in the performance of floating rate bonds denominated in US dollars issued by companies and quasi-government institutions around the
world. Index component criteria include an investment grade rating as well as a
minimum term of one month and maximum of five years. The ETF minimises the
exchange rate risk between the US dollar and the euro.
Equity ETFs recorded lower inflows at EUR1.2bn. This can be partly explained by limited flows into both developed and emerging market equities. Most of these minor inflows were focused on stronger economies such as the US and German. EM equity ETFs gathered only EUR360M, just half of the 2017 average. Asia Pacific equity ETFs saw outflows of EUR160M as PM Abe and Japan's Abenomics continued to be challenged. Global ETF flows turned negative for the first time this year at -EUR37M in a more risk-off environment. Smart Beta ETFs flows also turned negative with a third consecutive month of decreasing flows at -EUR39M. Nevertheless, those outflows were mainly from Japanese Smart Beta ETFs; flows were still positive for Value & Momentum factor ETFs at EUR120M and EUR253M, respectively. view more ECB-Monetary policy decisions view more Franklin Templeton Investments to become new Smart Beta ETF issuer on Xetra The composition of these indices is based on a weighting of four factors: quality, valuation, momentum and volatility.
