Geldanlage: Acht bis neun Prozent stabile Rendite im Jahr? Wie neue ETFs das schaffen wollen

In the world of exchange-traded funds (ETFs), financial institutions have recently turned their attention to a complex investment product called Autocallables. Wisdomtree, a US-based fund house, launched two ETFs focused on Autocallables in late September, promising an annual return of eight to nine percent regardless of market conditions, except during prolonged periods of losses.

Wisdomtree is not the only player – since spring, US niche provider Calamos has also introduced an Autocallable ETF for German investors. According to Morningstar, the products currently manage around five billion dollars in the US, with Ark Invest, led by prominent investor Cathie Wood, also joining the bandwagon with its own Autocallable ETF in recent weeks.

However, experts warn that Autocallables and related funds come with significant risks. The Financial Times explains how these products work, what investors should watch out for, and under which circumstances these products might still be worth considering. Autocallables are designed to offer a stable, high return of eight to nine percent annually, making them an attractive option for those seeking stability and consistent gains in their investment portfolios.
