Why do investors use fixed income ETFs?
Philippe Baché (pictured), head of fixed income at Lyxor ETF, commented: “This ETF is the latest in a series of enhancements we have been making to our fixed income range.
“GOUD could help to maximise diversification across markets and issuers at the same time, thus improving the risk profile, as well as limit the concentration risk of investing in a single local market.
“We have selected FTSE Russell for the quality of its government bond indices.”
Since launch in March 2018, Lyxor’s core ETF range, which includes Europe’s joint-cheapest ETF at 0.04%, has gathered €8.6bn assets.
