ETF Types

Every category of fund a European investor can actually buy, reviewed type by type. The sector and thematic shelf covers healthcare, biotech, robotics, cybersecurity, defence, clean energy and the commodity themes — with an honest view on when a satellite position helps and when it is expensive performance-chasing. The defensive shelf covers bond ETFs by duration and credit, money-market UCITS like XEON for parking cash, and inflation-linked options. Leveraged products, ETCs and other exotics are covered with their risks stated plainly. Each review looks at the same fundamentals: index construction, replication method, TER against tracking difference, fund size, domicile and the tax consequences for European holders. Use this archive to research a specific fund type; use the comparison tools to put candidates side by side before you buy.
