As you can read in our opening article, ‘A year of fragmented paths and prospects’, we look at regional divergences in global inflation and growth. Amid this uncertain environment, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) could play a role in helping you build a diversified investment portfolio.
In ‘Going global with equities’, we highlight how investors could capture growth trends across the world by investing in an ETF with global equities exposure. Research shows that over long periods, returns on equities have tended to be more attractive than on cash or other assets such as bonds.
Investors could have a chance to benefit from diversification1 with global equities, reducing the concentration risk2 that comes with investing more narrowly.
Equity investments aren’t the only route open to investors. In fixed income, we outline ‘What you need to know about fixed maturity ETFs’. Given the uncertain economic environment, these ETFs might be appealing because investors get an estimated yield to maturity3 on the day they invest. This visibility could allow you to line up your investment strategy with your personal goals – such as buying a new car or saving for a house deposit.
Our article ‘Are you investing like a millionaire?’ explores the habits of successful investors. Although there is no magic formula for success when it comes to investing in financial markets, we can look to relatively successful investors in an attempt to learn from them.
We also look at ‘The influence of your investments: the power of voting and engagement’. When you invest in a company, you become one of its shareholders, either directly or indirectly4, meaning you have a say in how that entity is run. That’s why it is important to entrust your money with an asset manager that is aligned with your values.
At Amundi ETF, we aim to empower investors by putting you first and by being a one-stop shop for all things ETF. We also provide a large range of ETFs for every investor journey, while putting responsible investing at the heart of our offering.
1 Diversification does not guarantee a profit or protect against a loss.2 This is the risk of potential losses on a single large investment in a particular market.3 This is the overall interest rate earned by an investor who buys a bond and holds it until maturity, provided that the issuer does not default. Capital is not guaranteed. In the event of redemption before maturity, the investor will not benefit from the estimated return and the risk of capital loss is even greater. 4 You can invest in a company directly by buying its shares, or indirectly through a fund or ETF.
