Deutsche Börse has further expanded its XTF segment for listed index funds on the electronic trading platform Xetra. Since Wednesday, four more exchange-traded funds (ETFs) issued by Lyxor Asset Management have been tradable in XTF.
Three of the four new index funds track emerging markets indices. The Lyxor ETF MSCI Emerging Markets (ISIN: FR0010429068) allows investors to participate in the performance of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. The index represents around 85 percent of the total market capitalization of global emerging markets. Lyxor also offers an ETF on the MSCI EM Latin America Index (FR0010410266) for investors who want to participate in the performance of Latin American emerging markets in particular. This index is comprised of listed companies from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru. Finally, investors can use the Lyxor ETF South Africa (ISIN:FR0010464446) to make targeted investments in around 40 South African companies listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange. The ETF is based on the FTSE/JSE Top 40 Index. All three emerging markets ETFs are offered at an annual management fee of 0.65 percent.
In addition to the emerging markets ETFs, investors put their money on a DJ EURO STOXX 50 Index with a double leverage feature using the Lyxor ETF Leveraged DJ EURO STOXX 50 (ISIN: FR0010468983): If, for example, the index rises by 2 percent, the index fund gains 4 percent, with the leverage effect working the same way in the opposite direction. The annual management fee for the ETF amounts to 0.4 percent.
All of the funds distribute dividends on an annual basis.
