A further ten equity index ETFs, six bond index ETFs and four commodity index ETFs issued by Amundi ETF have been tradable on Xetra® since Wednesday.
Six of the ten new Amundi equity index ETFs track the performance of companies from the following countries and regions of the MSCI index family: Brazil, eastern Europe ex Russia, non-EMU Europe, Scandinavia, Switzerland and the UK. The Amundi ETF MSCI Brazil is tradable in US dollars.
Investors can invest in the performance of the following markets on Xetra for the first time: The Amundi ETF MSCI Nordic tracks the performance of the around 80 largest and best-performing companies from the Scandinavian equity market (Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden). The Amundi ETF MSCI Eastern Europe ex Russia participates in the performance of the most important companies in the eastern European equity markets excluding Russia. The Amundi ETF MSCI Europe ex EMU provides access to equities from the developed economies in Europe outside of the European Monetary Union (EMU). The Amundi ETF MSCI Switzerland tracks the MSCI Switzerland index and thus the performance of around 40 of the largest and best-performing companies in the Swiss equity market.
Investors can also participate in the performance of the 600 largest and best-performing companies from 18 European countries with the Amundi ETF Dow Jones STOXX 600.
Three further Amundi ETFs provide investors with access to the finance, energy and real estate sectors. For the first time, investors can participate in the performance of the MSCI World Financials and MSCI World Energy indices on Xetra. The MSCI World Energy contains the world’s largest energy companies, of which the most important for the index are petroleum companies such as BP, Repsol, Royal Dutch and Exxon Mobil. The MSCI World Financials contains approximately 300 financial sector companies from all over the world. The Amundi ETF Real Estate REIT IEIF allows investors to participate for the first time on Xetra in the performance of the strategy index Euronext IEIF REIT Europe, and thus also in the performance of around 25 real estate companies listed in Europe.
Amundi also enables investors to participate for the first time on Xetra in the inverse performance of bond ETFs from the EuroMTS Broad index family. Investors can choose between six short bond ETFs with various maturities, containing euro-zone government bonds with a minimum residual maturity of one year and an outstanding minimum volume of two billion euros. Amundi ETF is thus expanding its offering of bond ETFs from the EuroMTS Broad index family which were already listed in March and which are based on increasing performance.
The four commodity index ETFs issued by Amundi ETF enable investors to participate in the performance of commodities from the S&P Goldman Sachs Commodity index family. The Amundi ETF S&P GSCI Agriculture tracks the performance of the agricultural commodities cotton, coffee, cocoa, corn, soy beans, wheat and sugar. The Amundi ETF S&P GSCI Metals is primarily involved with industrial and precious metals. The Amundi ETF S&P GSCI Light Energy participates in all commodity categories, although the energy sector has a low weighting. The Amundi ETF S&P GSCI Non Energy tracks the performance of all commodities with the exception of the energy sector. All four commodity index ETFs are tradable in US dollars.
