Today: Milliardär bietet für Uniper | Gehebelte ETFs: Hohe Rendite, hohes Risiko
Der tschechische Unternehmer Daniel Křetínský hat ein unverbindliches Angebot für Deutschlands wichtigsten Gaskonzern abgegeben. Und: Experten warnen vor gehebelten ETF-Investments.
A Czech billionaire is making waves in the race to acquire Uniper, the country's largest gas distributor. Daniel Křetínský, through his energy company EP-Gruppe, has submitted an unsolicited offer. The businessman is determined to join the competition for Uniper, despite facing opposition from the workforce.
Energetic reporter Catiana Krapp notes that the German government should now avoid repeating past mistakes, specifically in regards to their stake in Commerzbank. The Czech magnate is not the only one warning of the potential risks involved. Consumer advocates and investment professionals repeatedly caution against leveraged ETFs, claiming that they amplify daily market movements. However, these complex funds come with a disproportionately high risk of significant losses, according to the criticism.
Investors are drawn to the promise of up to 13,000 percent returns, but they need to be aware of the potential pitfalls. To shed light on this, Handelsblatt Volontär Sophia Ulrich discussed the topic with Andreas Neuhaus, Team Leader for Investment and Markets at Handelsblatt.
