) has listed on the Deutsche Börse today and is due to list on the London Stock Exchange next week. The ETF tracks an index currently composed of 148 investment-grade corporate bonds from nine countries2. It is a direct, physical replication ETF.

“Asia US dollar Investment Grade (IG) corporate bond issuance increased from around USD 21 billion dollars in 2010 to around USD 63 billion dollars in 20153. This is an important and growing section of the global bond market, and this new ETF provides investors with a flexible and efficient way to access such exposure,” says Anson Chow, Deutsche AM’s Head of Exchange Traded Product Development, Asia-Pacific.

The ETF’s underlying index is the Markit iBoxx USD Liquid Asia Ex-Japan Corporates Large Cap Investment Grade Index®. Only bonds with over USD 750 million in outstanding notional qualify for inclusion in the index, which has a yield of 3.10%, average duration of 5.03 years, and average credit quality of ‘A-’4.

“It’s interesting to observe that over the past three years the Asia investment grade corporate bond market has generally shown a higher volatility-adjusted return compared to the US IG corporate universe5. And that in the past 10 years there have been no defaults in the bonds included in the index underlying this ETF7,” adds Chow.

As of 31 August, 2016, Chinese corporate bonds represent the highest weighting in the index, at slightly more than 50%. Corporate bonds from Hong Kong and India both have weightings of more than 10%. This is consistent with Greater China and India representing over 70% of the GDP of the Asia ex-Japan region6. Other countries represented in the index are Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand and South Korea.

The ETF has an annual All-in Fee of 0.30%.

Deutsche AM’s db x-trackers platform has an extensive range of fixed income ETFs, including the db x-trackers Barclays USD Corporate Bond UCITS ETF (DR), which is a physical replication ETF tracking the predominantly US corporate bond market. The ETF launched in October 2015 and has already attracted more than USD 550 million in assets under management8.

Key risks

Investors should note that the db X-trackers UCITS ETFs1 are not capital protected or guaranteed and investors should be prepared and able to sustain losses of the capital invested up to a total loss.

Shares in db X-trackers UCITS ETFs which are purchased on the secondary market cannot usually be sold directly back to the relevant fund. Investors must purchase and redeem such shares on the secondary market with the assistance of an intermediary (e.g. a market maker or a stock broker) and may incur fees for doing so (as further described in the applicable prospectus). In addition, investors may pay more than the current net asset value of a share in a db X-trackers UCITS ETF when buying shares on the secondary market, and may receive less than the current net asset value when selling such shares on the secondary market.

Investments in funds involve numerous risks including, among others, general market risks, credit risks, foreign exchange risks, interest rate risks and liquidity risks. The value of an investment in a db X-trackers UCITS ETF may go down as well as up and investors may not get back the full amount of their original investment.

Cryptoassets of the Month: May 2023

Cryptoassets of the Month: May 2023 Every month, our research team will present the cryptoassets of the month that increased or dropped in value by more than 15%. With a data-driven approach, we highlight the most important developments and events causing price movements.

Every month, our research team will present the cryptoassets of the month that increased or dropped in value by more than 15%. With a data-driven approach, we highlight the most important developments and events causing price movements.

Figure 1 – 30-Day Performance: Cryptoassets of the Month vs. Traditional Asset Classes

Data Source: 21Shares, CoinGecko, and Yahoo Finance, from 30-Apr-2023 to 31-May-2023 (Close Price)

Ethereum (ETH)

Ethereum traded down 0.57% over the past month. On May 15, Lido V2 went live, enabling users to withdraw their stETH (staked Ether). As of May 31, Lido has processed over 460k stETH withdrawals without voluntarily exiting a single validator. The protocol achieved this by implementing a buffer that accumulates ETH via daily deposits, partial withdrawals, and rewards. On the scaling front, Aztec revealed its “hybrid zk-rollup,” which will enable private smart contract execution, allowing users to protect their data and on-chain activity with programmable anonymity. Finally, Ethereum’s beacon chain suffered a technical issue that caused the network to stop finalizing blocks briefly.

Bitcoin (BTC)

Bitcoin traded down 7.21% over the past month. On May 17, Tether announced it would use 15% of its monthly net operating profits (i.e., the realized gains from T-bills and similar investments) to buy Bitcoin. The move aims to diversify Tether’s reserve surplus. In addition, it could have a considerable effect on BTC’s structural supply and demand dynamics, as it can offset a significant portion of the selling pressure we can expect from the 41k BTC that the U.S. government intends to sell this year. On another front, transaction fees on the Bitcoin network rose five-fold from $23.5 million in April to $124 million in May, primarily driven by Ordinals and BRC-20 tokens.

Decentraland (MANA)

Decentraland (MANA) traded down 15.08% over the past month as activity in the decentralized virtual world waned significantly. About 2,740 unique wallet addresses interacted with Decentraland throughout May, down ~26% from April. In other news, on May 18, Decentraland DAO introduced “Decentraland Studios,” a platform to connect creators who want to build experiences on the platform but lack the technical skills to do it. This move is part of a broader trend in crypto attempting to lower the barrier of entry for new developers and creators.

Stacks (STX)

Stack’s native token STX traded down 16.47% over the past month. On May 23, ALEX – the most prominent decentralized exchange (DEX) on the Stacks network – introduced permissionless listings for BRC-20 tokens. Despite the combined market cap of BRC-20 tokens reaching close to $500 million, they mainly consist of “meme coins” because Bitcoin does not natively support smart contracts, nor is it designed for fast performance. Thus, Bitcoin needs Layer 2s like Stacks to be usable at scale and open the segway for new use cases. Regarding ecosystem traction, the Stacks networks reached 65,000 deployed smart contracts on May 25.

Avalanche (AVAX)

Avalanche’s native token AVAX traded down 17.85% over the past month despite exciting ecosystem developments. On May 24, Ava Labs announced AvaCloud, a launchpad that allows businesses to deploy custom, fully managed blockchains using an intuitive no-code portal. In addition, the AvaCloud product suite includes managed validators with automated installation for enhanced security, comprehensive data tools, and chain interoperability between all blockchains on the Avalanche network. If successful, the release could mark a paradigm shift in enterprise adoption by removing the complexity of building a public or private blockchain.

Algorand (ALGO)

Algorand’s native token ALGO traded down 18.34% over the past month, underperforming the broader market. The Algorand Foundation recently released AlgoKit, an application that handles the developer environment setup, project generation, and deployment. AlgoKit aims to lower the barrier of entry for developers entering the ecosystem. In this regard, attracting new talent is an area Algorand has struggled with – the blockchain had only 38 full-time developers as of April 2023, according to Electric Capital. The network’s inability to attract new talent may be worrisome as developer engagement is an early and leading indicator of value creation.

Fantom (FTM)

Fantom’s native token FTM traded down 26.28% over the past month. On May 8, the Fantom Hackathon Q2 2023 opened for submissions with a prize pool of over $300k for innovative dApps built on the blockchain. On May 17, the Fantom Foundation released Fantom Academy, a series of lessons for developers, including Solidity basics, token standards, and more. Finally, regarding ecosystem traction, Fantom became available on The Graph, allowing developers to leverage subgraphs to load data on the Fantom blockchain securely and reliably into their dApps.

Strategies of the Month: March 2023

Every month, our research team will also present the best-performing strategies of the month in our product suite. With a data-driven approach, we highlight the most important developments and events causing price movements.

SBTC

The 21Shares Short Bitcoin ETP (SBTC) rose 5.72% over the past month. SBTC seeks to provide a -1x return to the performance of Bitcoin for a single day. Despite its strong fundamentals, BTC’s implied annual volatility has consistently been above 70% and has experienced drawdowns from its all-time high of more than 80%. By comparison, the annual volatility of the S&P 500 sits around 20%. As a result, sophisticated investors with stringent risk-management practices may benefit from tactical short-term inverse exposure to BTC.

VettaFis energiforskningschef Stacey Morris talar med Thomas Warner från Proactive om den senaste utvecklingen inom midstream-sektorn och i Alerian Midstream Energy Dividend UCITS ETF (JMLP). Han säger att det varit ett fantastiskt kvartal för midstream sektorn.

VettaFis energiforskningschef Stacey Morris talar med Thomas Warner från Proactive om den senaste utvecklingen inom midstream-sektorn och i Alerian Midstream Energy Dividend UCITS ETF (JMLP). Han säger att det varit ett fantastiskt kvartal för midstream sektorn.

Morris lyfter fram en stark resultatsäsong, med energiinfrastrukturföretag som överträffar förväntningarna och höjer vägledningen. Midstream-bolags stabila kassaflöden och solida utförande bidrog till deras motståndskraft och positiva utdelningstrender, vilket väckte intresse från allmänna investerare.

Hon pratar också om det senaste meddelandet om oljeproduktionsnedskärningar från Opec+, som hon tror kanske inte har en omedelbar inverkan på midstream, men som i slutändan kan visa sig gynnsam för sektorn.

Senatens godkända kärnenergiproposition ger bränsle i uranindustrin

Publicerad

Genomgången av en kärnenergiproposition orsakade en uppgång i aktiekurserna för företag inom uranindustrin. Cameco Corporation, det största företaget inom uranindustrin, ökade med 14 procent under de senaste tre handelssessionerna.

Genomgången av en kärnenergiproposition orsakade en uppgång i aktiekurserna för företag inom uranindustrin. Cameco Corporation, det största företaget inom uranindustrin, ökade med 14 procent under de senaste tre handelssessionerna.

Som svar på antagandet av kärnkraftslagstiftningen har aktiekurserna för uranprospekterings-, utvinnings- och bearbetningsföretag stigit kraftigt.

Global X Uranium ETF (URA), en amerikansk ETF, har även skjutit i höjden med 10 procent under de senaste tre handelssessionerna, eftersom den amerikanska regeringen har för avsikt att öka investeringarna i branschen under de kommande åren.

Vad hände: Den 1 juni antog Senatens kommitté för miljö och offentliga arbeten (EPW) den bipartisan ADVANCE Act, en kärnenergiproposition avsedd att positionera USA som en global ledare inom kärnteknik och energi.

Lagstiftningen, som infördes av Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV), ordförande Tom Carper (D-DE), Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), syftar till att uppmuntra utveckling och användning av ny kärnteknik.

Varför det är viktigt: ADVANCE Act har potential att främja marknadstillväxt och prestanda inom kärnenergisektorn, eftersom den ger Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) de verktyg och resurser som krävs för att underlätta en säker och konkurrenskraftig utveckling av kärnteknik i Förenta staterna.

Det kommer att minska regleringskostnaderna, stimulera nästa generations reaktorer och effektivisera tillståndsförfarandet för kärnkraftsanläggningar på brunfältsanläggningar.

Capito konstaterade, ”Från både nationell säkerhet och energioberoende synvinkel har USA allt att vinna genom att bli världsledande inom kärnenergi, och idag tog vi ett viktigt steg mot att uppnå det målet.”
