INVESTMENT RISKS

The Lyxor UCITS ETFs described on this website are not suitable for everyone. Investors capital is at risk. Investors should not deal in this product unless they understand, having obtained independent professional advice where necessary, its nature, terms and conditions, and the extent of their exposure to risk. The value of the product can go down as well as up and can be subject to volatility due to factors such as price changes in the underlying instrument and interest rates. If a fund is quoted in a different currency to the index, currency risks exist. Prior to any investment in any Lyxor UCITS ETF, you should make your own appraisal of the risks from a financial, legal and tax perspective, without relying exclusively on the information provided by us. We recommend that you consult your own independent professional advisors (including legal, tax, financial or accounting advisors, as appropriate)

SPECIFIC RISKS

Counterparty risk: Through Lyxor UCITS ETFs, investors are exposed to counterparty risk resulting from the use of OTC swaps with Société Générale. Pursuant to the UCITS Directive 2009/65/EC (as may be amended), the exposure of a UCITS to a swap counterparty which is a credit institution for the purpose of the Directive, cannot exceed 10% of the total fund assets. It is recommended that potential investors study the fund prospectus before investing.

As of March 2020, the long term, senior, unsecured debt obligations of Société Générale were rated A by Standard and Poor’s Ratings Services (S & P) and A2 by Moody’s Investor’s Services Inc (Moody’s). Companies are rated by S&P from AAA (highest rating / most secure) to D (lowest rating / in default / most risky), and by Moody’s from Aaa (highest rating / most secure) to C (lowest rating / in default / most risky).

Liquidity risk: Société Générale is not the only market-maker for Lyxor UCITS ETFs. Société Générale and any other market makers supporting Lyxor UCITS ETFs on exchange must follow the respective London Stock Exchange (LSE) requirements and guidelines. On-exchange liquidity may be limited as a result of a suspension in the underlying market represented by the index tracked by the ETF; a failure in the LSE, Société Générale or other market-maker systems; or an abnormal trading situation or event.

PRODUCT SPECIFIC RISK FACTORS

Capital at Risk ETFs are tracking instruments: Their risk profile is similar to a direct investment in the Benchmark Index. Investors’ capital is fully at risk and investors may not get back the amount originally invested. Investments are not covered by the provisions of the Financial Services Compensation Scheme ("FSCS"), or any similar scheme.

Counterparty Risk Investors may be exposed to risks resulting from the use of an OTC (over the counter) Swap with Lyxor UK. Physical ETFs may have Counterparty Risk resulting from the use of a Securities Lending Programme.

Currency Risk ETFs may be exposed to currency risk if the ETF or Benchmark Index holdings are denominated in a currency different to that of the Benchmark Index they are tracking. This means that exchange rate fluctuations could have a negative or positive effect on returns

Replication Risk ETFs are designed to replicate the performance of the Benchmark Index. Unexpected events relating to the constituents of the Benchmark Index may impact the Index provider’s ability to calculate the Benchmark Index, which may effect the ETF’s ability to replicate the Benchmark Index efficiently. This may create Tracking Error in the ETF.

The Benchmark Index of a Lyxor ETF may be complex and volatile. When investing in commodities, the Benchmark Index is calculated with reference to commodity futures contracts which can expose investors to risks related to the cost of carry and transportation. ETFs exposed to Emerging Markets carry a greater risk of potential loss than investment in Developed Markets as they are exposed to a wide range of unpredictable Emerging Market risks.

Liquidity Risk On-exchange liquidity may be limited as a result of a suspension in the underlying market represented by the Benchmark Index tracked by the ETF; a failure in the systems of one of the relevant stock exchanges, Lyxor UK or other Market Maker systems; or an abnormal trading situation or event.

The Sub-Funds are recognised Collective Investment Schemes for the purposes of Section 264 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (the "FSMA") and the Prospectus is available to the general public in the United Kingdom on this website. You are advised that most, if not all, of the protections provided by the United Kingdom regulatory system generally and for UK authorised funds do not apply to recognised funds such as these Sub-Funds

Marketing Restrictions and Implications

Lyxor UCITS compliant Exchange Traded Funds (Lyxor UCITS ETFs) referred to on this website are open ended mutual investment funds (i) established under the French law and approved by the Autorité des Marchés Financiers (the French Financial Markets Authority), or (ii) established under the Luxembourg law and approved by the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (the Luxembourg Financial Supervisory Committee). Most, if not all, of the protections provided by theUK regulatory system generally and for UK authorised funds do not apply to these exchange traded funds (ETFs). In particular, investors should note that holdings in this product will not be covered by the provisions of the Financial Services Compensation Scheme, or by any similar scheme in France.

This website is exclusively intended for persons who are not "US persons", as such term is defined in Regulation S or the US Securities Act 1933, as amended, and who are not physically present in the US.

Potential users of this website are requested to inform themselves about and to observe any such restrictions.

Index Replication Process

Lyxor UCITS ETFs follow both physical and synthetic index replication process.

However, most Lyxor UCITS ETFs follow synthetic replication process. This consists of entering into a derivative transaction (a ‘Performance Swap’, as defined below) with a counterparty that provides complete and effective exposure to its benchmark index. Lyxor has adopted this methodology in order to minimise tracking error, optimise transaction costs and reduce operational risks.

A Performance Swap is a contractual agreement which is negotiated over-the-counter (OTC) between two parties: the Lyxor UCITS ETF and its counterparty. From a risk perspective, each Performance Swap ranks equally with other senior unsecured obligations of the counterparty, such as common bonds (i.e., same rights to payments). In the Performance Swap, the counterparty of the Lyxor UCITS ETF commits to pay the Lyxor UCITS ETF a variable return based on a pre-determined benchmark index, instead of a fixed stream of income (as in bonds). At the same time, the counterparty will receive from the Lyxor UCITS ETF the performance and any related revenues generated by the basket's assets (excluding the value of the Performance Swap) held by the Lyxor UCITS ETF. Information provided on individual ETFs includes data on the basket relating to the ETF and the percentage value of the basket represented by each asset. The information is relevant to the closing values on the date given.

Disruptive Technology in a post-Covid world

mikko

As part of our guest blog series on thematic investing, MSCI and Costas Andriopoulos, Professor of Entrepreneurship and Innovation at Cass Business School, share their views on Disruptive Technology. Learn how the pandemic crisis is creating technologically-led solutions to help maintain business continuity and social distancing.

Disruptive technology amid pandemic disruption

The Covid-19 pandemic has profoundly impacted people’s lives, families, communities and the global economy - and its future evolution remains uncertain. The scope and speed of impact across all business and economic sectors has been huge – global lockdowns have seen a collapse of demand and activity akin to the Great Depression.¹ In the analysis that follows, we review how social and economic changes may propel the potential of disruptive technologies to unprecedented heights. We focus on 3D printing, the Internet of Things, cloud computing, fintech, digital payments, healthcare innovation, robotics, cybersecurity, clean energy and smart grids. In the short- to medium-term a key question for investors may be whether these disruptive technologies can help provide solutions to maintain social distancing, ensure business continuity, strengthen health-care outcomes and prevent service disruptions

3D printing

Global supply chains left many companies vulnerable to coronavirus disruptions.² The pandemic has thus brought to the forefront a lot of attention to 3D printing, including around the production of ventilator parts and protective equipment.³ Northwell Health, a New York-based hospital system, started to make its own nasal swabs using 3D printing, enabling the production of thousands of swabs a day that could be used in testing for the coronavirus.⁴ The crisis has also put industrial 3D printing technology center stage illustrating its capabilities.⁵ The post-coronavirus “normal” for manufacturers may involve more localized and more flexible production in order to meet surge capacity and be better prepared for future problems.⁶

MSCI would like to thank Costas Andriopoulos who is a Professor of Innovation and Entrepreneurship at Cass Business School, for useful discussions and insightful analysis of this megatrend, which have greatly facilitated the preparation of this article.

His research focuses on organisational ambidexterity: how companies can excel at both incremental and radical innovation.
