High Yield Recovers, Fallen Angels Soar. Fallen angel bonds continued their history of outperformance, ending the first quarter ahead of the broad high yield bond market (+6.54% vs. +3.25%), as measured by the BofA Merrill Lynch US Fallen Angel High Yield Index (H0FA) and BofA Merrill Lynch US High Yield Index (H0A0). The basic industry and energy sectors helped fallen angels’ performance, as oil prices bounced in February. Fallen angels are high yield corporate bonds that are originally issued with investment grade credit ratings. They offer a potential value proposition, as they tend to price in a high degree of risk ahead of downgrades to high yield, and may become oversold due to forced selling by institutional holders.

Fallen Angel Bonds Outperformed Broad High Yield in the First Quarter

Living up to their history of outperformance, fallen angel bonds (+6.54%) ended the first quarter having outperformed the broad high yield bond market (+3.25%) by 3.30%, as measured by the BofA Merrill Lynch US Fallen Angel High Yield Index (H0FA) and BofA Merrill Lynch US High Yield Index (H0A0).1 Fallen angels are high yield corporate bonds that are originally issued with investment grade credit ratings.

Heavier Allocations to Basic Industry and Energy Drove Positive Results

Relative to the broad high yield bond market, fallen angels’ recent outperformance was primarily due to their higher average allocations to the basic industry and energy sectors. Both of these sectors’ bonds appreciated in the first quarter, as oil prices recovered approximately 46% since mid-February.2

Top and bottom three sector attribution of the BofA Merrill Lynch US Fallen Angel High Yield Index for fallen angels versus the BofA Merrill Lynch US High Yield Index for the broad high yield bond market. Figures are gross of fees, non-transaction based and therefore estimates only. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Attribution represents the opportunity cost of investment positions in a group relative to the overall benchmark.

2016 Energy Sector Bias

Over the first quarter, fallen angels’ energy allocation grew from about 13% to 25%, while the broad high yield bond market’s went from approximately 11% to 13%.3 The overweight bias occurred as a result of the energy sector’s struggles in 2015, which led to investment grade energy companies suffering credit deterioration being downgraded to high yield. Allocating to bonds that are under ratings pressure may be considered a contrarian investment approach, which has tended to work for fallen angels in the past. Fallen angels tend to price in a substantial amount of this risk ahead of the ratings downgrades and, in general, become oversold from institutional forced selling upon entering the (H0FA) index, creating a potential value proposition.

Higher Quality High Yield

Fallen angels are generally characterized by higher average credit quality than the broad high yield bond market. While fallen angel bonds currently have a higher allocation to the energy sector than the broad high yield bond market, energy fallen angels are diversified across industries and concentrated in bonds with BB-credit (below investment grade) ratings.

För andra gången kommer XENIX ETF AWARDS Nordics att hedra den 9 april 2024 framstående indexspårare (klassiska indexfonder och börshandlade ETFer) som är kvalitetsledare eftersom de för närvarande är de bäst rankade spårarna i sina respektive peer-grupper enligt kvalitativa XENIX STARS-betyg.

För andra gången kommer XENIX ETF AWARDS Nordics att hedra den 9 april 2024 framstående indexspårare (klassiska indexfonder och börshandlade ETFer) som är kvalitetsledare eftersom de för närvarande är de bäst rankade spårarna i sina respektive peer-grupper enligt kvalitativa XENIX STARS-betyg.

Nordic Quality Awards 2024

För XENIX ETF AWARDS Nordics 2024 kommer XENIX endast att betrakta indexfonder och ETFer som kvalitetsledare som är passivt förvaltade, registrerade för offentlig distribution och erbjuds av nordiska banker eller fondcenter. XENIX tar därför hänsyn till hela spektrumet av passiva investeringar som erbjuds privata investerare i norra Europa.

Nordic Newcomer Awards 2024

Utöver de ratingbaserade kvalitetsutmärkelserna kan även indexfonder och ETFer erkännas som nykomlingpristagare om de erbjuder innovativa investeringar till nordiska investerare. Denna priskategori är därför inte baserad på XENIX kvalitetsbetyg.

Tid: Tisdagen den 9 september 2024, mellan 17,00 och 21,00

Plats: Nasdaq Stockholm AB, Tullvaktsvägen 15, 105 78 Stockholm


XENIX kommer att stå värd för ETF AWARDS för de nordiska länderna för andra gången i april 2024. Alla börsnoterade ETFer och klassiska indexfonder som erbjuds nordiska privata investerare beaktas.

XENIX ETF AWARDS Nordics är de ursprungliga nordiska ETF AWARDS för alla trackerfonder. XENIX utvärderar ratingvinnarna i utvalda tillgångsklasser, det vill säga de bästa ETFerna och trackerfonderna utifrån en kvalitativ rating. Dessutom kommer innovativa ETF-nykomlingar och även index att hedras och särskilda utmärkelser kommer att delas ut för anmärkningsvärda bidrag till indexerings- och ETF-marknadens framsteg. Efter prisutdelningen i Stockholm planeras även ett extra ETF Seminar Suomi”.

Exponering mot aktier från amerikanska och utvecklade marknader genom aktiva investeringsstrategier

Sedan i tisdags har två nya aktivt förvaltade börshandlade fonder från iShares kunnat handlas på handelsplatserna Xetra och Börse Frankfurt. Dessa ETFer från iShares ger exponering mot aktier från amerikanska och utvecklade marknader genom aktiva investeringsstrategier.

Sedan i tisdags har två nya aktivt förvaltade börshandlade fonder från iShares kunnat handlas på handelsplatserna Xetra och Börse Frankfurt. Dessa ETFer från iShares ger exponering mot aktier från amerikanska och utvecklade marknader genom aktiva investeringsstrategier.

iShares U.S. Equity High Income UCITS ETF (INCU) driver en aktiv investeringsstrategi utformad för att generera inkomster och kapitaltillväxt med lägre volatilitet än den bredare amerikanska aktiemarknaden. Den strategi som tillämpas av portföljförvaltaren består i huvudsak av följande komponenter:

  • Innehava långa positioner i amerikanska stora aktier, med beaktande av en ESG-investeringspolicy,
  • Sälja köpoptioner på ett amerikanskt aktieindex med stor kapital, såsom S&P 500 Index, för att generera ytterligare intäkter; och
  • Köpa terminer på ett amerikanskt aktieindex med stor kapital, såsom S&P 500 Index, för att minska effekten av ett potentiellt vinsttak från försäljningen av köpoptioner.

iShares World Equity High Income UCITS ETF (WINC) följer ett liknande tillvägagångssätt, men fokuserar på utvecklade marknader med stora och medelstora aktier. För detta ändamål säljs köpoptioner och terminer köps på index som S&P 500, FTSE 100, Nikkei och EURO STOXX 50.

Produktutbudet i Deutsche Börses XTF-segment omfattar för närvarande totalt 2 148 ETFer. Med detta urval och en genomsnittlig månatlig handelsvolym på cirka 14 miljarder euro är Xetra den ledande handelsplatsen för ETFer i Europa.

iShares Essential Metals Producers UCITS ETF USD (Acc) (CEBT ETF) med ISIN IE000ROSD5J6, försöker följa S&P Global Essential Metals Producers index. S&P Global Essential Metals Producers index spårar företag över hela världen som är engagerade i prospektering, gruvdrift och/eller raffinering av material som är avgörande för övergången till förnybara energikällor.

iShares Essential Metals Producers UCITS ETF USD (Acc) (CEBT ETF) med ISIN IE000ROSD5J6, försöker följa S&P Global Essential Metals Producers index. S&P Global Essential Metals Producers index spårar företag över hela världen som är engagerade i prospektering, gruvdrift och/eller raffinering av material som är avgörande för övergången till förnybara energikällor.

Den börshandlade fondens TER (total cost ratio) uppgår till 0,55 % p.a. iShares Essential Metals Producers UCITS ETF USD (Acc) är den enda ETF som följer S&P Global Essential Metals Producers index. ETFen replikerar resultatet för det underliggande indexet genom samplingsteknik (köper ett urval av de mest relevanta indexbeståndsdelarna). Utdelningarna i denna ETF ackumuleras och återinvesteras.

Denna ETF lanserades den 18 oktober 2023 och har sin hemvist i Irland.

Varför CEBT?

Indexet syftar till att återspegla resultatet för en delmängd av aktierelaterade värdepapper i kvalificerade utvecklade och tillväxtländer med deltagande i produktionen av metaller som krävs för den globala energisektorns övergång från fossilbaserade system för energiproduktion och energiförbrukning till förnybara energikällor.

Indexet erbjuder exponering mot övergångsmetallrelaterad verksamhet grupperad i tre klassificeringar: kärnmetallkategorier (inklusive koppar och litium), icke-kärnmetallkategorier (inklusive zink och silver) och diversifierade metallkategorier.

Riktmärket strävar efter att utesluta företag som klassificeras som icke-kompatibla med Sustainalytics Global Standards Screening (“GSS”). Indexleverantören kan också utesluta beståndsdelar som är involverade i kontroversiella aktiviteter som identifierats av S&P:s årliga medie- och intressentanalys.

Investeringsmål

Fonden strävar efter att uppnå avkastning på din investering, genom en kombination av kapitaltillväxt och inkomst på fondens tillgångar, vilket återspeglar avkastningen från S&P Global Essential Metals Producers Index, fondens jämförelseindex (”Index”).

Handla CEBT ETF

iShares Essential Metals Producers UCITS ETF USD (Acc) (CEBT ETF) handlas på flera olika börser, till exempel Deutsche Boerse Xetra och Euronext Amsterdam. Av den anledningen förekommer olika kortnamn på samma börshandlade fond.

Det betyder att det går att handla andelar i denna ETF genom de flesta svenska banker och Internetmäklare, till exempel DEGIRONordnet, Aktieinvest och Avanza.
