Rolle im Portfolio
The iShares Euro Aggregate Bond UCITS ETF(IE00B3DKXQ41) offers investors exposure to the aggregate performance of the main sectors of the EUR-denominated fixed income market, namely government and quasi-government, corporate and covered bonds.
Fixed income holdings should be part of an optimal mix of asset classes in an investment portfolio at any given time, as they provide a steady and fairly reliable regular revenue stream via coupon payments. However, it is fair to say that investor interest in fixed income investments increases at times of economic crisis. Bonds have low or negative correlation with equities, which helps investors manage risk. This ETF distributes dividends on a semi-annual basis.
