Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2013 in the subject Business economics - Banking, Stock Exchanges, Insurance, Accounting, grade: 1, University of Innsbruck, course: Risikomanagement, language: English, abstract: Nowadays exchange traded funds (ETFs) are getting more and more popular. Many investors believe that their risk-performance profile is better than ordinary index mutual funds. This seminar paper focuses on the real returns of both asset classes. It is based on a scientific paper written by Sharifzadeh et. al.(2012). The authors compared ETFs and index mutual funds which had quite the same composition. Additionally, they tested the risk-return profile of both, using the sharpe ratio. Interestingly, they found out that ETFs could not outperform index mutual funds and vice versa.

Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2013 in the subject Business economics - Banking, Stock Exchanges, Insurance, Accounting, grade: 1, University of Innsbruck (Banking and Finance), course: Management von Preis-, Zins- und Währungsrisiken, language: English, abstract: Exchange Traded Funds are one of the most successful and promissing innovations in financial markets in the last decades. In contrast to most other finance innovations ETFs are especially beneficial for private investors. Nevertheless some developments took place creating mostly unknown risks for those who decided to invest into them. This paper should provide a basic understanding of all risks that can be involved in the ETF market. Furthermore, there is a focus on some regulatory rules for such funds. The paper is divided into 4 main parts. First, there is a basic explanation about ETFs and how they work. Second, we show the development of the last few years of the ETF market. The focus of our work lies on the third part which deals with the Risk of ETFs. Risks that are explained are: counterparty, liquidity and leverage risk. Fourth, there is summary of regulations of ETFs which are created by IOSCO and ESMA. Finally, there is a short conclusion which summarizes the whole seminar paper in a few words.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the economic foundation of international equity investments providing a practical guide to invest in international equity exchange-traded funds (ETFs). It shows how to gain exposure to foreign stock markets through both theoretical foundations of international diversification and in-depth characteristics of global, regional, country-specific, and international sector/thematic ETFs. Unlike other books in the field which broadly discuss different aspects of the ETF market, this book explores one specific market segment, offering the first in-depth and state-of-the-art analysis of international equity ETFs and including, in particular, ETFs with global, regional, single-country, and international sector/thematic exposures. The number and variety of such financial instruments are constantly growing. Hence, it seems obvious that there is an urgent need for a book that will help investors who are willing to diversify their portfolios outside the domestic market—in both developed and emerging/frontier markets. International Equity Exchange-Traded Funds presents a comprehensive review of investment possibilities offered by international ETFs for stock market investors.

Book excerpt: When in May 2012 the market experienced the 'flash crash', many equity products, including 'exchange traded funds' -- or ETFs -- experienced an extraordinary rapid decline and recovery prompting significant public scrutiny for allegedly causing market distortions and being a source of systemic risk. Concerns are raised especially with respect to those European ETFs employing a high degree of leverage, which could be particularly harmful for investors. The purported solutions to investor protection and systemic stability concerns are focused on fine-tuning product rules and developing a more interventionist approach to ETFs relative to the existing processes.This article asks whether the premises of ETF regulation are consistent with the ETF's market origin and its continued viability and, more specifically, whether the existing ETF regulation promotes an effectively functioning mechanism, generally referred to as arbitrage by market participants, supporting the active market in ETF shares. The article introduces a path for achieving an effective arbitrage mechanism. We argue that the blueprint of European ETF regulation 'ought to' focus on the full disclosure of the funds' portfolio holdings as the primary measure for investor protection. Public disclosure of the ETF portfolio holdings also addresses systemic stability concerns by empowering regulators to properly monitor the transmission channels of liquidity risk. In 'effect', given the rather positive experience of the US ETF market, this article advocates a harmonized international approach to the 'transparency' of ETF investment activities.
