The New Generation of ETFs
The newly launched funds combine the advantages of synthetic replication with the transparency of direct replication.

Expanded possibilities: In the case of more complex country indices such as individual emerging markets, it is often difficult – if not impossible – for investors to gain access to direct investments. Synthetic replication now allows less liquid indices to be replicated accurately and efficiently.

Efficiency: In order to ensure that the index is replicated as accurately as possible, the ETF invests in a substitute basket as well as an index swap. The substitute basket is compiled with a view to minimizing costs and maximizing tax considerations, while complying with legal requirements (e.g. UCITS III) at the same time.

Limited counterparty risk:The quality of the counterparty plays a vital role when it comes to synthetic replications. For investors, it is therefore important to know that it is intended to execute the swaps with Credit Suisse Securities (Europe) Limited. Furthermore, the return of the substitute basket is offset on a daily basis against the index return on the swap.

Transparency: Credit Suisse places a strong emphasis on transparency. It is a cornerstone of our philosophy. For this reason, the composition of the substitute basket is published daily on our website. This – like our additional transparency measures – is one-of-a-kind on the market for synthetic ETFs as it stands today.
