db X-trackers lists Aussie dollar cash ETF in London
February 14, 2013--db X-trackers, Deutsche Asset & Wealth
Management's exchange-traded funds (ETF) platform, is providing European
investors with liquid, easily traded access to Australian money market rates via a new London listing.
The Australian overnight money market rate currently yields 3% on an annualized basis, placing it as an outlier in comparison with money market rates in other developed markets-the equivalent Sterling Overnight Index Average is currently 0.43%, while the equivalent US Federal funds rate is 0.09%.
The db x-trackers II Australian Dollar Cash UCITS ETF may therefore appeal to investors searching for yield in the current low-rate environment. As the fund is denominated in Australian dollars, but trades in GBP, it may also appeal to investors looking to diversify their currency exposure, or who want to take a view on the movement of the Australian dollar.
