Main Risk Factors of Multi-Asset ETF
While the diversification in a multi-asset strategy reduces risk, it’s important to remember that all investments carry some risk. Multi-Asset ETFs by VanEck are subject to the four risks below:
Investments in real estate securities can be affected by the general performance of stock markets and the property sector. Interest rate changes, in particular, can have a negative impact.
Increases in interest rates have a significant impact on the value of fixed-income securities issued by governments and companies. Potential or actual downgrades in credit ratings can also impact prices. This is another risk factor of Multi-Asset ETF.
The value of stocks depends on daily market fluctuations. Other factors that influence them include political and economic news, company results and material corporate events.
If the issuer of a bond is unable to pay interest or repay capital, the value of that bond will fall.
