It also aims to enable exposure to fixed rate investment grade bonds – that are denominated in euros and issued by financial companies – and it has been launched on the London Stock Exchange.
The fund tracks the Barclays Euro-Aggregate : Financial Index by holding the physical bonds.
A sampling technique is used to manage the new ETF, providing investors with efficient and liquid exposure to the performance of the underlying index.
The fund has a total expense ratio of 0.20%. Barclays uses both issue and issuer ratings by three agencies – Moody’s Investors Service, Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group and Fitch Ratings – to determine the investment grade rating necessary for a bond to be included in the index.
