What are ETFs?

ETFs (Exchange Traded Funds) are investment funds that track certain stock market indices - for example the DAX. ETFs make it possible to invest broadly and cost-effectively with just one investment.

There are risks associated with investing.

Advantages of ETFs

What are the reasons for investing in ETFs?

Low costs: ETFs largely eliminate cost blocks for distribution, analyst teams and fund management. This keeps management costs low.

Diversification: With ETFs, investors can invest in a broadly diversified index via a single security, even if they only have a small amount at their disposal. The MSCI World Index, for example, comprises more than 1,600 shares from 23 industrialised nations.

Performance: Numerous academic studies show that the vast majority of active fund managers underperform the benchmark index over the long term. Over the past ten years, only a good ten percent of managers in Europe managed to beat the index, according to a recent study by S&P Dow Jones.

Transparency and flexibility: Since the composition of the indices is publicly known, the current positions in the ETF portfolio are known - at least in the case of physical ETFs. Because ETFs are traded on the stock exchange, investors can also call up the current price for an ETF, trade units and track performance at any time.
