The macroeconomic picture in the U.S. appears mixed, with investors weighing a strong consumer and market resiliency against the potential of higher-for-longer interest rates and persistent recession concerns. Amid this uncertainty, defined outcome strategies, which protect investors against set levels of downside risk in exchange for caps on upside potential, may be particularly appealing to investors repositioning their portfolios. They can help those who are looking to stay invested in broad stock indices and maintain some upside participation while also their lowering equity betas and ensuring an explicit level of protection.
“Amid significant market uncertainty, more investors are seeking to protect their portfolios against sharp equity downturns and maintain defined levels of risk,” said Rob Oliver, Head of Business Development for Global X ETFs in Europe. “Global X’s latest defined outcome strategies can help investors achieve these goals and highlight our firm’s long-term commitment to the European market through innovative ETF solutions.”
