XENIX ETF AWARDS Germany 2023 in Munich

An evening for winners The German XENIX ETF AWARDS 2023 were presented on the evening of March 2, 2023 on the premises of the Munich Stock Exchange. Outstanding ETFs that currently have the best XENIX ETF rating in their respective peer groups were honored.  ETF discussion: stock market and savings plans In the ETF discussion between Dr. Robert Ertl, Börse gettex, and Claus Hecher, BNP Paribas Easy ETF, it became clear that private investors are increasingly turning to global equity ETFs and monthly ETF savings plans as an entry strategy. Despite higher nominal interest rates, interest in bond ETFs among German investors is (still) manageable.  Crypto panel: equity ETFs with blockchain exposure In the crypto panel, Martin Leinweber, Markt Vector Indices, and Sven Wagenknecht, BTC-ECHO, discussed not only high-tech blockbuster ETFs, but also possible complementary building blocks. They highlighted the regulatory environment for bitcoin as a direct investment and explained the indirect, exchange-traded access routes such as crypto basket ETPs and equity ETFs with blockchain exposure. In these highly volatile niche ETFs, one invests in listed blockchain technology companies on an indexed basis without investing directly in cryptocurrencies.
