Investing in German Stocks
The latest issue of Euro am Sonntag did not provide specific recommendations for actively managed funds or ETFs focused on German stocks. However, the magazine offers some general considerations for investing in the German market.
Actively managed funds are those where the manager actively selects stocks to try to beat the market. In the context of German stocks, these funds often focus on sectors with strong growth potential, such as technology and automotive.
Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) offer a passive investment approach and can be a cost-effective way to invest in a broad spectrum of German stocks. Some popular ETFs might track indexes like the DAX or MDAX, which include major German companies.
To identify the best funds or ETFs for German stocks as recommended by Euro am Sonntag, it would be advisable to consult the latest issue directly or visit financial news websites for summaries of their recommendations.
Some General Types of Funds and ETFs
- DAX ETFs track the DAX index, which includes 40 of the largest and most liquid German companies.
- MDAX ETFs focus on smaller, more agile companies listed on the MDAX.
- Sector-specific funds focus on industrial sectors like automotive or IT, which are strong in Germany.
Performance of German Stocks
According to the "Global Investment Returns Yearbook" published by Swiss bank UBS and Credit Suisse this year, investing in stocks is the right way for shareholders. The yearbook states that, over a long period of 124 years, only stocks have achieved a positive real return in Germany. This result was also found for the further 35 markets for which the evaluation started after 1900.
In all 21 markets for which data is available since 1900, stocks have performed better than bonds, money market instruments, and even inflation. Reinvested returns, adjusted for inflation, averaged 3.2 percent per year for domestic titles, compared to the average of 5.4 percent achieved over the past 20 years.
Other Stock Market Developments
The oil cartel's production cuts remain in place, but they do not seem to have a significant impact on the price. Disappointment is evident instead of euphoria in the partial legalization in Germany for the industry, with profit hopes potentially evaporating.
The German Armed Forces are being eavesdropped, and hackers are using AI to attack companies and institutions, making digital security a boom topic. The "Global Investment Returns Yearbook" also emphasises that for long-term investing to significantly increase or at least preserve one's own capital, stocks are virtually the only option because they are profitable.
Investors can search for promising titles themselves or entrust the selection to professionals and invest in actively managed funds or ETFs. Bilfinger has returned to the MDAX after an absence of over six years.
