So-called buffer or risk-managed ETFs help maximize returns from an asset for investors and simultaneously provide downside protection over a specific period...
- BlackRock has launched a 'buffer' exchange-traded fund that seeks to offer a 100% downside hedge to risk-shy investors looking to tap the equity markets, the world's largest asset manager said on Monday.
Buffer ETFs also typically see lower redemption requests during times of heavy market volatility versus traditional ETFs tracking stock indexes."With record levels of cash sitting on the sidelines, many investors are looking for tools to help navigate market volatility before they step back into the market," said Rachel Aguirre, head of U.S. iShares product, BlackRock.
BlackRock added that it now manages $25 billion in assets under management across more than 40 active ETFs in the United States, as of June 30.
