Exchange Traded Funds
Funds that are traded on stock exchanges in the same way as shares. In contrast with classical funds, they are not managed actively by the portfolio manager, but copy the composition of a selected index pursuant to the official composition of assets in the index (they contain all titles of the index or a representative sample only).
The fund composition will change if there is a change in the index composition, or if the fund volume decreases or increases.
Exchange Traded Commodities
Funds that are traded on stock exchanges in the same way as stocks. The underlying asset of ETCs are separate commodities or a basket of commodities (for example gold, oil, industrial metals, agricultural crops…).
The aim of individual ETCs is to copy the development of the price of the underlying asset.
