Since Wednesday, a new exchange-traded fund from AXA Investment Managers has been tradable on Xetra and Börse Frankfurt.
The AXA IM ICE US Treasury +25Y UCITS ETF pursues a passive investment strategy and invests in long-term US dollar-denominated government bonds that are publicly issued by the US government in its home market. The ETF tracks the ICE US Treasury 25+ Year Bond Index. The fixed-rate bonds must have a remaining maturity of at least 25 years and an outstanding volume of at least US$ 300 million.
The fund must invest in at least six different bonds, with no single issue representing more than 30 per cent of net assets. The interest income will be reinvested.
