New Unicredit ETF on Xetra: CoCo Bonds from Global Financial Institutions
A new UniCredit Exchange Traded Fund has been tradable on Xetra and Börse Frankfurt since Tuesday.
The UC AXI Global Coco Bonds UCITS ETF - Institutional EUR-hedged gives investors the opportunity to participate in the performance of CoCo bonds of global financial institutions. CoCo bonds are long-dated, subordinated bonds with mostly fixed coupons, which are automatically converted from debt into equity when predetermined events occur. CoCo bonds, like subordinated bonds, are used to offset other higher-ranking liabilities.
The ETF uses a hedging strategy to minimise the exchange rate risk between the base currency of the index components and the euro.
