The safest MSCI World ETF: More security and stability for cautious investors.
Die geopolitischen Spannungen rund um den Globus sorgen für Verunsicherung. Zum Krieg in der Ukraine und zum Konflikt zwischen China und Taiwan verschärfte sich nun auch noch die Situation im Nahen Osten. Zusammen mit der ohnehin schwächelnden Weltwirtschaft fragen sich Anleger, wie es weitergeht. Startet nun die Jahresendrally oder steht vielleicht doch eine größere Korrektur an?
Für all jene Investoren, die keine Nerven aus Stahl haben und sich insgesamt eher zu den vorsichtigen Anlegern zählen, möchten wir heute einen ETF vorstellen, der ein wenig mehr Sicherheit und Stabilität bietet. Kein Fonds oder ETF kann sich komplett vor Verlusten schützen. Aber es gibt Strategien, die das Risiko zumindest etwas reduzieren können. Eine solche ist der Low-Volatility- oder Minimum-Volatility-Ansatz.
Low-Volatility-Fonds sind eine spezielle Art von Investmentfonds, die sich durch eine geringe Schwankungsintensität auszeichnen. Diese Fonds versuchen, das Risiko für Anleger zu minimieren, indem sie in Wertpapiere investieren, die historisch gesehen weniger starken Preisschwankungen unterliegen als der breite Markt.

The consumer goods manufacturer Johnson & Johnson is also at the forefront, as is the technology stock Cisco Systems. The right ETF for investors who have negative expectations but do not want to exit the market completely.
