BlackRockilta uusi ruotsalaisiin osakkeisiin sijoittava ETF

Sijoittajat haluavat yhä enemmän sijoittaa Ruotsin osakemarkkinoille, ja uusi rahasto on vastaus tähän kasvavaan kysyntään. Rahasto on ensimmäinen BlackRockin iShares-rahasto, jonka kotipaikka on Dublin ja joka sijoittaa ainoastaan Ruotsin markkinoille. Rahaston kautta voi sijoittaa noin 80:een Ruotsin suurimpaan ja likvideimpään pörssinoteerattuun osakkeeseen.

iShares OMX Stockholm Capped UCITS ETF (OMXS) -rahasto tulee pörssiin Isossa-Britanniassa ja Saksassa, ja se on rekisteröity Ruotsissa, Suomessa, Norjassa ja Tanskassa. Sijoittajat pääsevät rahaston kautta sijoittamaan noin 85 prosenttiin julkisen kaupankäynnin kohteena olevista yrityksistä Ruotsissa eri sektoreilla.

Johtaja Matti Tammi iSharesin Pohjoismaiden-tiimistä sanoo:

”Ruotsi on houkutteleva sijoituskohde sen vahvojen ja vakaiden pitkän aikavälin näkymien vuoksi. Uusi ETF on yksinkertainen ja kustannustehokas keino sijoittaa Ruotsin markkinoille. Tuote sopii sekä ruotsalaisille sijoittajille, jotka haluavat sijoittaa kotimarkkinoihinsa, sekä kansainvälisille sijoittajille, jotka ovat haluavat hajauttaa sijoituksiaan Ruotsin pörssissä noteerattuihin yrityksiin.”

Rahasto on fyysisesti replikoiva, eli se ostaa indeksiin kuuluvia arvopapereita. Rahaston kulusuhde on 0,10 %. Rahaston valuutta on Ruotsin kruunu.

BlackRock hallinnoi asiakkaidensa varoja 5,1 biljoonan dollarin arvosta maailmanlaajuisesti. Varojen hallinnointiin käytetään sekä aktiivisia että passiivisia sijoitusstrategioita.

BlackRock launches Swedish equity ETF

Stockholm, 19 December 2016 – In response to growing investor demand for access to the Swedish domestic equity market, BlackRock has launched a new exchange traded fund (ETF) tracking the OMX Stockholm Benchmark Cap ™ Index. The fund is BlackRock’s first Dublin domiciled iShares ETF with single country exposure to Sweden, and provides broad exposure to approximately 80 of the largest and most liquid stocks from the country’s equity market.

The iShares OMX Stockholm Capped UCITS ETF (OMXS) will be listed in the UK and Germany, and registered for sale in Sweden, Finland, Norway and Denmark. It provides investors exposure to approximately 85% of the publicly-traded stock market in Sweden, with companies from a variety of sectors. 

Matti Tammi, Director in the iShares Nordics team at BlackRock, commented:“The strong and stable long-term prospects of the Swedish economy make it an attractive investment for many investors. This ETF is a simple, cost-effective way for investors to build a country-specific allocation to the market within their portfolio. It should appeal to Swedish investors looking for domestic exposure, as well as international investors interested in the diversification that listed Swedish companies represent.”

The fund is physically replicating,meaning it buys the securities of the index, and has a total expense ratio of 0.10%. The base currency of the fund is the Swedish Krona.
