Since Thursday, a new exchange traded fund and a new exchange traded commodity from iShares are tradable on Xetra and via the trading venue Börse Frankfurt.

The iShares Digital Entertainment and Education UCITS ETF USD (Acc) offers investors the opportunity to invest in companies from developed and emerging markets that generate significant revenues from digital entertainment and education. Companies in areas such as controversial weapons, tobacco, nuclear power and genetically modified organisms are excluded.

The iShares Physical Gold EUR Hedged ETC is a debt security that tracks the performance of the gold price and is backed by physically deposited gold. All gold bars deposited meet the LBMA’s good delivery criteria. This ensures that the gold bars come from responsible and sustainable sources. This is a currency-hedged product, which means that the impact of exchange rate fluctuations is minimised.
