OREANDA-NEWS. Four new exchange-listed bond index funds and one commodity index fund issued by ComStage have been tradable on Xetra and Börse Frankfurt since Thursday.

Two of the ComStage ETFs follow the strategy of tracking the total return of a long or short investment, which consists of two components: the performance of the futures contract on the effective interest rate of ten-year US government bonds plus interest on the non-tied capital at the effective federal funds rate.

On a long investment, the total return will rise if ten-year US government bond yields fall. On a short investment, in contrast, the total return will rise if ten-year US government bond yields rise.

Two additional ComStage ETFs follow the strategy of tracking the total return of a short investment with a leverage factor of 1 or 2. This comprises the performance of the 30-year futures contract on the effective interest rate of a minimum of 15-year and a maximum of 25-year US government bonds (30Y US Treasury Future) plus interest paid on the non-tied capital at the effective federal funds rate.

If the yields of the 15 to 25-year US government bonds rise, the strategy's total return rises as well.
