The funds crossing on to the exchange include the Tabula European Performance Credit UCITS ETF (TABD GY), the Tabula European iTraxx Crossover Credit UCITS ETF (TABH GY), and the Tabula European iTraxx Crossover Credit Short UCITS ETF (TAB1 GY).
They join the previously listed Tabula JP Morgan Global Credit Volatility Premium Index UCITS ETF (TABV GY), taking Tabula’s product offering on Xetra to four.
Gereon Tewes, who is responsible for German-speaking client coverage at Tabula, commented, “I am extremely pleased to see the extension of our offering in a key and significant market.
“The opportunity this offers to German investors will undoubtedly spur the demand for credit exposures in fixed income and further allow us to develop our lines of business.”
All four ETFs trade in euros with BNP Paribas acting as lead market maker.
They are also available to trade on the London Stock Exchange and BX Swiss.
