Amundi launches seven fixed income ETFs in Paris

Amundi ETF has listed seven fixed income exchange-traded funds on NYSE Euronext in Paris.

Four of these products are being launched in Europe for the first time.

The listing comprises a full range of ETFs tracking a family of both long and short US Treasury bonds indices.

This includes three ETFs that seek to replicate as closely as possible the Markit iBoxx USD Treasuries 1-3Y, the Markit iBoxx USD Treasuries 3-7Y, and the Markit iBoxx USD Treasuries 7-10Y indices.

The range also consists of three unprecedented short ETFs offering a daily inverse performance to the evolution of the same indices and the same buckets of maturities.

There is also an ETF that replicates the performance of the EuroMTS ex-AAA Government Index. This index is reviewed on a monthly basis and is composed of debt securities issued by the Eurozone member states with a rating lower than AAA (or a lower equivalent rating to S&P, Moody's and Fitch).

Valérie Baudson, managing director of Amundi ETF, says: “Amundi ETF is accelerating its development with these seven new fixed income products, offering European investors an increasingly diversified range of innovative ETFs.”

Scott Ebner, senior vice president, exchange-traded products at NYSE Euronext, adds: “We are delighted to widen our ETF range with the launch of these seven new Amundi products of which four are without precedent in Europe. With currently 493 products listed on the European market offering transparency and liquidity, NYSE Euronext meets the growing investor demand for these products.”
