Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) offer an approach to investing that combines instant diversification with trading flexibility, reduced expenses, and improved tax efficiency. Fundamentals of Exchange Traded Funds.

WHAT ARE ETFs?

An ETF is a collection of securities that tracks, and is intended to represent, the performance of a broad or specific segment of the market (e.g., US equities, small cap stocks or emerging markets).

An ETF is similar to an index mutual fund but trades like a stock throughout the day. ETFs combine the features of index mutual funds with individual securities:

Like index mutual funds, ETFs allow investors to track hundreds of domestic and international indexes, including the S&P 500® and the Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market IndexSM, as well as specific sectors or industries (e.g., utilities, technology, or healthcare).

Like individual stocks, ETFs give investors the flexibility to buy and sell on the major stock exchanges throughout the day, at the market price. Like stocks, investors can place stop loss and limit orders on ETFs. They can even be bought on margin and sold short, subject to your broker’s terms and conditions.

Unlike a stock, Index ETFs and mutual funds are managed funds that follow a passive investment strategy, attempting to track the performance of an unmanaged index of securities. As a result, the Funds may hold constituent securities of the Index regardless of the current or projected performance of a specific security.

ETFs trade like a stock and will fluctuate in market value over the course of the trading day, unlike an index mutual fund. ETFs may trade at prices below or above the ETF net asset value. Buying shares of an Index ETF, similar to buying a stock, will typically involve brokerage commissions to which index mutual funds may not be subject. Frequent trading of ETFs could significantly increase commissions and other costs.

THE POTENTIAL BENEFITS OF EXCHANGE TRADED FUNDS

DIVERSIFICATION. ETFs offer one of the easiest ways to diversify a portfolio, especially for investors who want to focus on a specific sector or industry. By virtue of being index investments, ETFs offer exposure to a particular market segment, helping to protect against the risk of a select number of individual stocks hurting an investor’s overall portfolio performance. It’s important to remember that diversification does not ensure a profit or guarantee against loss.

LOWER FEES AND EXPENSES. Because most ETFs are passively managed, they typically have low management fees and operating expenses. However, frequent trading of ETFs could significantly increase commissions and other costs such that they may offset any savings from low fees or costs.

TRADING FLEXIBILITY. ETFs trade all day long, so investors can lock in the market value of the ETF anytime during the trading day. Because ETFs trade like stocks on an exchange, a wider range of techniques (short selling, stop loss and limit orders) can be used to take advantage of anticipated market movements. It’s important to keep in mind that frequent ETF trading, which typically occurs through a broker, can significantly increase brokerage commissions potentially washing away any savings from low fees or costs.

TRANSPARENCY. Investors have all the information they need to make informed investments—no strategy drift or black boxes to decipher. With ETFs, you know precisely which securities the ETF holds and what you’re invested in—there is no need to wait for the end of the quarter to review the fund’s holdings.

TAX EFFICIENCY. The ETF investor decides when to sell his or her ETF shares and much like a stock transaction the individual controls the timing of any taxes on any resulting capital gain/loss. Unlike mutual fund investors, ETF buyers and sellers usually don’t assume as high a tax burden for fellow shareholder redemptions. In this case, the resulting capital gains tax burden would be shared by all of the ETF’s investors.**

DEFINITIONS

FLEXIBLE TRADING OPTIONS

Ease and efficiency with which one can purchase a security. ETFs, like stocks, trade on an exchange and can be bought and sold at any point during trading hours at their current market value. Buy and sell orders for mutual fund shares are placed and transacted after the market close at the mutual fund’s closing market value, where the closing value is calculated at the end of the trading day.

TAX TREATMENTS

Tax consequences related to the trading of securities. Turnover of individual stocks will have either short term or capital gains tax consequences for the individual investor only. Similarly, holders of ETFs will not typically be affected by other shareholder redemptions. With a mutual fund, if multiple shareholders redeem their shares concurrently, the fund manager may have to sell underlying holdings to raise cash to pay those shareholders; in addition to transaction costs, this could trigger capital gains. The taxes on those capital gains would then be absorbed by all shareholders in the fund.

INDEX DEFINITIONS

S&P 500 INDEX

The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index of 500 common stocks that is generally considered representative of the US stock market. The index is heavily weighted towards stocks with large market capitalizations and represents approximately two-thirds of the total market value of all domestic common stocks. The S&P 500 Index figures do not reflect any fees, expenses or taxes.

DOW JONES U.S. TOTAL STOCK MARKET INDEX

The Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market Index represents the broadest index for the US equity market, measuring the performance of all US equity securities with readily available price data. Over 5,000 capitalization weighted security returns are used to adjust the index.

IMPORTANT RISK INFORMATION

ETFs trade like stocks, fluctuate in market value and may trade at prices above or below the ETFs’ net asset value. Brokerage commissions and ETF expenses will reduce returns.

Passive management and the creation/redemption process can help minimize capital gains distributions.

Frequent trading of ETFs could significantly increase commissions and other costs such that they may offset any savings from low fees or costs.

The use of short selling entails a high degree of risk, may increase potential losses and is not suitable for all investors. Please assess your financial circumstances and risk tolerance prior to short selling.

Information represented in this piece does not constitute legal, tax, or investment advice. Investors should consult their legal, tax, and financial advisors before making any financial decisions. Performance of an index is not illustrative of any particular investment. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

Foreign investments involve greater risks than US investments, including political and economic risks and the risk of currency fluctuations, all of which may be magnified in emerging markets.

Publicerad

HANetf och REX-Shares lanserar REX Tech Innovation Premium Income UCITS ETF och REX Tech Innovation Income & Growth UCITS ETF, som båda följer Solactive US FANG Innovation Index.

HANetf och REX-Shares lanserar REX Tech Innovation Premium Income UCITS ETF och REX Tech Innovation Income & Growth UCITS ETF, som båda följer Solactive US FANG Innovation Index.

Solactive är glada att kunna tillkännage samarbetet med HANetf och REX-Shares kring lanseringen av U.S. Big Tech Premium Income ETF och U.S. Big Tech Income & Growth ETF, som båda följer Solactive US FANG Innovation Index. Produkterna syftar till att ge investerare tillgång till en dynamisk portfölj av de mest innovativa och inflytelserika amerikanska teknikdrivna företagen.

I över ett decennium har teknikjättar dominerat de amerikanska kapitalmarknaderna. Solactive US FANG Innovation Index fångar resultatet av 20 framstående, teknikfokuserade företag och kombinerar skalan och motståndskraften hos etablerade teknikjättar med styrkan och relevansen hos andra ledande innovatörer, vilket skapar en diversifierad korg som exemplifierar amerikanskt tekniskt ledarskap. Tillsammans formar dessa företag några av dagens mest transformerande områden, inklusive artificiell intelligens, molntjänster, digital underhållning, avancerade halvledare samt elektrisk och autonom mobilitet.

Solactive US FANG Innovation Index inkluderar ikoniska namn som Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta, Microsoft, Nvidia, Netflix och Tesla, tillsammans med ett urval av de näst största och mest likvida och effektfulla teknikföretagen på marknaden. Denna struktur syftar till att säkerställa att investerare får exponering mot en dynamisk portfölj i framkant av den digitala ekonomin.

REX Tech Innovation Premium Income UCITS ETF och REX Tech Innovation Income & Growth UCITS ETF noterades den 2 juli på Londonbörsen under tickersymbolen ”FEPI” och ”FEGI”.

Timo Pfeiffer, Chief Markets Officer på Solactive, kommenterade: ”Vårt uppdrag är att göra det möjligt för våra kunder att snabbt och effektivt förverkliga sina indexbaserade produktidéer. REX Tech Innovation Premium Income UCITS ETF och REX Tech Innovation Income & Growth UCITS ETF är kraftfulla exempel på hur vår flexibla infrastruktur och innovativa tänkesätt hjälper till att omsätta produktidéer till investeringsbara verkligheter. Vi är stolta över att stödja REX Shares och HANetf med denna lansering.”

”Vi är glada över att samarbeta med HANetf och Solactive för att lansera REX första börsnoterade ETF i Europa och utöka vår globala närvaro”, säger Kevin Gopaul, investeringschef på REX. ”Optionsbaserade inkomststrategier har varit ett av de snabbast växande segmenten i USA, och våra ETFer med täckta köpoptioner har varit starkt tilltalande bland investerare som söker avkastning utan att offra aktieexponering.

Med lanseringen av REX Tech Innovation Premium Income ETF är vi stolta över att erbjuda europeiska investerare en differentierad inkomstlösning byggd på en portfölj av ledande amerikanska teknikföretag.”

Hector McNeil, medgrundare och VD för HANetf, kommenterade: ”Vi är glada över att samarbeta med REX Shares för att lansera tre nya covered call-ETF:er i Europa. Tillgångsklassen har tagit fart i Europa nyligen, men vi tror att den bara har börjat. REX Shares tillvägagångssätt är beprövat i USA, och nu har europeiska investerare en chans att delta.

Vi har nu 5 covered call-ETFer på HANetf-plattformen och 13 aktiva ETFer. Vi tror att båda dessa områden är redo för betydande tillväxt i Europa, och detta återspeglas i ökningen av förfrågningar vi har fått om att lansera aktiva och optionsbaserade ETFer. Vårt mål är alltid att bryta ner inträdesbarriärerna på den europeiska ETF-marknaden och låta kapitalförvaltare från hela världen lansera sina börshandlade strategier på ett snabbt och kostnadseffektivt sätt. Vårt produktutbud blir alltmer mångsidigt i takt med att vi välkomnar fler partners till plattformen, vilket säkerställer att vi alltid är innovativa och erbjuder relevanta strategier till europeiska investerare.”
