ETFs in focus: How to secure your assets for the future!

On February 24, 2025, several financial sources reported on the iShares Core MSCI World ETF and the current price movement. The iShares Core MSCI World ETF is a well-known investment product that offers investors broad diversification within the international stock markets. The ETF is part of a large number of offerings provided by well-known providers such as DWS, Xtrackers, Amundi, Fidelity and Invesco.

The current market for ETFs has a variety of benchmarks, including the DAX, EuroStoxx50, MDAX, MSCI Emerging Markets and S&P 500. These ETFs invest in various asset classes including stock indices, bonds, real estate, forex and commodities. The currencies in which these ETFs operate include AUD, CAD, EUR, GBP and JPY, to name a few.

The structure of the ETF market

The volume distribution for ETFs ranges from less than 5 million to over 5,000 million euros, which reflects the different sizes of the funds. There is also a total expense ratio (TER) that ranges from under 0.15% to over 0.75%, which can be crucial for the cost structure of investments. The ETFs can offer either accumulating or distributing distributions.

In addition to the different asset classes included in ETFs, they also offer a degree of flexibility through long and short strategies. Typically, these products are sorted according to various criteria, such as 1-year, 3-year or 5-year performance.

The diversification that ETFs provide is an important advantage as they can significantly reduce the risk of losses. As ETFs.de notes, they offer a broad product portfolio and invest in a variety of securities, which helps achieve different risk-return profiles.

The key features of ETFs as described in the recent reports underscore the importance of these investment products for investors seeking a balanced mix of investments in their portfolio.
