 FT Mandate: Expanding ETF horizons
While the market for exchange traded funds (ETFs) in Europe has recently celebrated only its fifth birthday and is dwarfed by a US market dating back 12 years, last month’s launch of the world’s first ever commodity ETF on the Deutsche Börse and SWX Swiss Exchange might prove a defining moment.
SWX and virt-x are also the only exchanges in Europe that offers ETFs in four different currencies (US dollar, Yen, euro and Swiss franc), which he says is particularly attractive for asset managers and institutions since currency exposure can be mitigated.
And, while other exchanges proudly parade the numbers of ETFs listed on their exchanges, he says: “Our main strategy at Borsa Italiana has always been to be extremely focused on having liquidity on the secondary market, and we are encouraged to see very active trading in the ETF segment.
