Two new ETFs from iShares on Xetra: access to the clean energy sector and short maturity investment grade euro corporate bonds

Two new exchange-traded funds issued by iShares have been tradable on Xetra and via the trading venue Börse Frankfurt since Friday.

With the iShares Global Clean Energy UCITS ETF, investors participate in the performance of 100 companies from developed and emerging countries worldwide that are driving the development of clean energy with their products and services. The most important sectors include utilities, IT and industrials, with the US, China and Denmark being the most strongly represented regionally. Companies that violate the principles of the UN Global Compact or are involved in arms deals, tobacco, thermal coal or oil and gas exploration are excluded.

The iShares € Ultrashort Bond ESG UCITS ETF offers an investment in very short maturity fixed and floating-rate corporate bonds that are issued in euros and have an investment grade rating. The residual term of the bonds is a maximum of one year. The selection is based on a best-in-class approach for sustainable investments, in which the best issuers are evaluated and selected from an ESG perspective.

The product offering in Deutsche Börse's XTF segment currently comprises a total of 2,140 ETFs. With this selection and an average monthly trading volume of around €14 billion, Xetra is the leading trading venue for ETFs in Europe.
