The UCITS ETF Daily Double Short 10Y UK Gilts product aims to achieve a leveraged exposure to the UK long-term bond market, while avoiding the costs linked to the use of cash instruments.

The UCITS ETF Daily Double Short 10Y Japan Government Bonds product targets exposure to the daily performance of the Japan long term bond market, while similarly trying to sidestep cash instruments co

"For investors who believe US and UK interest rates may rise further  these ETFs are efficient tools for investors seeking to hedge their portfolios or take a directional view,” Chanchal Samadder, head of UK and Ireland institutional ETF sales at Lyxor Asset Management said.
