Geldanlage: 13.000 statt 1900 Prozent Rendite – Sind gehebelte ETFs besser als ihr Ruf?
Experten warnen vor gehebelten Investments, die Kursentwicklungen verdoppeln sollen. Dabei liegen alle Produkte seit ihrer Auflage im Plus, zeigt eine Handelsblatt-Auswertung.
Düsseldorf – Consumer advocates and investment professionals have consistently warned against leveraged exchange-traded funds (ETFs). These funds are said to double the daily movements of the stock market. However, critics argue they are too complex for individual investors and expose them to disproportionately high risks of losses.
Their attractive returns are deceptive. According to the comparison platform JustETF, German investors currently have ten leveraged equity ETFs to choose from. Each of them has outperformed the unleveraged version since its launch. The difference is most striking in the twice-leveraged ETF from Amundi on the US technology index Nasdaq 100.
Since its launch in 2006, this ETF has surged by 13,000 percent, according to Bloomberg financial services data. A conventional Nasdaq ETF grew by only about 2,000 percent over the same period. Are leveraged ETFs better than their reputation suggests?
