Hvor vi I uge 25 så lansering af iShares Dow Jones Emerging Markets Select Dividend ETF (http://www.cranberger.com/product/12419), så fik vi i denne uge lansering af ALPS Sector Dividend Dogs ETF (http://www.cranberger.com/product/12456) der er unik i og med at den målrettet går efter at eliminerer sektor bias. Dette gøres ved at udvælge 5 aktier inden for hver af GICS sektorer.

For dem der er interserret i ETFer med et Dividende, så har jeg oprettet en tråd omkring "Dividend Due Diligence" her (http://www.cranberger.com/groups/investing-income)

Af øvrige nyheder i uge 26 kan jeg fremhæve at Lyxor lanserede et par ETFs der i stedet for at vægte virksomhder efter deres størrelse, i stedet vægter efter det man kalder "Risk-parity" hvor hver virksomhed er repræsenteret lige-vægtet i forhold til den risiko (Volatilitet) de historisk har vist.

Vi ser nu flere og flere produkter lanseret der forsøger at forbedre første generation af ETFer, ved at forbedre den måde eksponeringen struktureres på.

I denne uge fik vi Julius Bär Smart equity ETFer, der med udgangspunkt i en række eksisterende passive index, gå ind og filtrerer virksomheder delvis efter nogle Momentum og Value kriterier.

Har listet produkter nedenfor, hvis i synes det er en god ide med disse ETP opdateringer så giv "thumps-up" og evt. et prej omkring hvad i ønsker af informationer. (Er muligvis selv blevet miljøskadet.)
