In recent years, the financial service industry demonstrated substantial growth of Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs). Apart from offering access to new and more specific investment opportunities, many ETFs enter direct competition with conventional, already existing Mutual Index Funds.

The results are much more prevalent in funds that follow the S&P 500 than funds that do not. When examining the tracking errors, we find index funds are able to track their indexes

Thesis (MBA)--Stellenbosch University, 2015.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Facilities are available to individual investors to enable them to invest directly in a multitude of investments without making use of investment brokers or financial advisors. Although this facility offers the benefit of reduced administration and management fees, it also puts the investor in a position where he is responsible for making his own investment decisions. Since Markowitz’s publication fifty years ago, it has been known that diversification is necessary in order to reduce the investor’s exposure to any unsystematic i

Abstract:
Robo-advising is an emerging trend in markets around the world. The term has come to refer almost exclusively to automated advisory services for financial investments or wealth management. Currently, in the South African market, financial services firms offer their own robo-advising platforms that only provide automated advice about their own products. This paper investigates the possibility of a roboadvising platform existing outside of these financial institutions. The paper reviews the preconditions that make robo-advising possible. Namely, risk profiling, portfolio allocation, availability

Ci focalizzeremo inizialmente nella spiegazione di che tipologia di prodotti si tratti andando poi ad osservare un caso pratico. Nello specifico andremo ad individuare un indice di mercato che utilizzeremo come benchmark, il Bloomberg Barclays Euro Aggregate Corporate Total Return Index, indice ch

Abstract:
This thesis further investigates the effectiveness of 15 variable moving average strategies that mimic the trading rules used in the study by Brock, Lakonishok, and LeBaron (1992). Instead of applying these strategies to developed markets, unique characteristics of emerging markets offer opportunity to investors that warrant further research. Before transaction costs, all 15 variable moving average strategies outperform the naïve benchmark strategy of buying and holding different emerging market ETF's over the volatile period of 858 trading days. However, the variable moving averages perform p

JEL Classification System G10 and G11<br>Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) are investment funds traded in stock exchanges that have recently been introduced and have been growing significantly over the last few years. Despite the vast number of research studies on this topic, there has been a certain lack of attention directed to Commodity ETFs and their suitability as an alternative investment in commodities. In order to understand their viability as an investment and their capacity in tracking their benchmarks, this study analyzes a sample of 27 metal ETFs, traded on the NYSE Arca. The focus of

Apesar do vasto reportório de trabalhos existentes sobre Exchanged Traded Funds (ETFs), poucos são aqueles que têm analisado commodities ETFs e a respetiva adequabilidade como substitutos de investimentos diretos em commodities. Para analisar se esta classe específica de ETFs é uma boa alternativa, analisámos uma amostra de 11 ETFs e se seguiam os respetivos benchmarks. Para tal procedemos a uma análise de regressão linear, ao cálculo do tracking error, e uma análise de cointegração, sendo esta última focada na relação de longo prazo entre variáveis.

Este estudo analisa o desempenho de Exchage-Traded Funds (ETFs) domiciliados nos EUA e na Europa através da abordagem Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). Para este efeito, foi utilizado o modelo Slack Based Mesure (SBM), que é um modelo não radial. Em particular, foi usada uma versão do SBM denominada Base Point - SlackBased Measure (BP-SBM) que transforma dados originalmente negativos em positivos com recurso a “pontos de referência”. Os resultados evidenciaram que os fundos eficientes domiciliados nos EUA são considerados mais vezes como benchmarks em termos de desempenho do que os ETFs d
