The new ETF trends 2025: opportunity or risk for investors?
Reported on April 1, 2025 finance.net about the current developments in the area of exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Accordingly, various providers, including DWS, Xtrackers, Amundi, Fidelity, Invesco and many others, offer a wide range of ETFs that are of interest to investors.
The available asset classes range from stock indices to bonds, commodities, real estate and foreign exchange. The most important benchmarks include DAX, EuroStoxx50, MDAX, MSCI Emerging Markets, S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100. The volume categories also vary, ranging from under 5 million to over 5,000 million euros. The Total Expense Ratio (TER) is also offered in different categories, starting from up to 0.15% to over 0.75%. Investors also have the option of choosing between accumulating and distributing funds.
Product variety of Xtrackers ETFs
Additionally informed DWS about the Xtrackers ETF product range. These include core ETFs with a low flat fee starting at 0.06%, which are based on major stock or bond market indices and offer physical replication.
The ESG ETFs provide access to indices that meet environmental, social and governance criteria, with a preference for companies with lower carbon emissions. Additionally, emerging market ETFs offer investors the opportunity to invest in emerging markets, with the first Xtrackers China ETF launched back in 2007. These funds also provide access to local Chinese government bond markets, but note higher volatility in emerging markets, which may pose risks to performance.
Currency-hedged ETFs support efficient currency risk management and are available in multiple currencies, while Strategic Beta ETFs aim to achieve higher, risk-adjusted returns. For those interested in raw materials, Xtrackers offers a range of Exchange Traded Commodities (ETCs) backed with physical precious metal, although the risk of fluctuations in value and losses remains.
