Accessing Trend Through ETFs
Managed futures is one of the alternative strategies that appears particularly well suited to an ETF structure. Portfolios are predominantly built using liquid futures and forwards, allowing systematic long and short exposure across equities, rates, currencies and commodities. The liquidity and scalability of those instruments can support efficient portfolio adjustment, daily valuation and the ETF creation and redemption process. In this current day, Europe is beginning to test that fit in practice.

Understanding Defined Outcomes
Defined outcome ETFs are gaining traction in European UCITS, but the payoffs they package are not new. European investors have long used structured notes, certificates and derivative overlays to reshape equity returns. Defined outcome ETFs bring a subset of those payoffs into pooled, exchange-listed vehicles, typically trading some upside participation for protection against a specified range of losses.
