1.15 pm | Panel 1
Presentation (German only) | Macro economical outlook: must the euro zone prepare for weak economic growth in the long term? The short-term growth forecasts for the global economy are positive; the threat of recession seems to have been overcome, despite the continuing debt row with Greece and geopolitical crises such as the Russia-Ukraine conflict. These risks, however, persist and the expected interest rate turnaround could entail turbulences at the financial markets as well as a slowing of growth. The economical situation continues its course as unpredictable and challenging. |
2.15 pm | Panel 2 Dr. Eduard Baitinger, Head of Asset Allocation, FERI Trust GmbH
| The best ETF strategies 2016 ‒ Perspectives for stock markets in face of an interest rate turnaround The ECB bond purchases, the EU investment programme and the oil price massively influenced the stock markets in 2015. A strong US dollar additionally boosted industrial activity in the euro zone. But what happens when the policy of cheap money is abandoned and the first interest rate increase decision is passed? |

Presentation (German only) | New ETF issuer introduce themselves The ETF market has experienced steady growth since the introduction of the first ETF 15 years ago. Today, investors can choose among numerous issuers and their products, making it increasingly challenging for new ETF issuers to find a profitable market gap. |
4.15 pm | Panel 4
| Smart Beta ETFs: modern index concepts under scrutiny The traditional index weighting method with a free float market capitalization approach has lately been rivaled by alternative index concepts. The so-called smart beta approaches have been established in various forms, promising an intelligent approach concerning the risk-return profile. |
5.15 pm | Panel 5
Presentation (German only) Presentation (German only) Presentation (German only) | Foreign currency and high-yield bonds ‒ A path to higher returns in times of low interest rate policy of the ECB? In the current low interest rate environment, there are hardly any bonds offering a high degree of security on the one hand and excess return on the other. In the eyes of investors, bond segments with higher returns such as high-yield corporate bonds or foreign currency bonds thus seem especially attractive. |
