There has been a lot of focus on equal weighting recently, not least given the dominance of larger stocks in the S&P 500. But beyond this, there are benefits for equal weighting across a range of sectors, which can allow investors to mitigate overconcentration risk and capture a theme more holistically.

In this webinar, we’ll be joined by three experts to discuss the appeal of an equal weighting strategy in the current market.

Speakers:
• Anthony Ginsberg, Founder and CEO of GinsGlobal
• Eric Strand, Founder and CEO of AuAg Funds
• Konrad Sippel, Head of Research at Solactive
• Tom Bailey, Head of Research, HANetf

Capturing a broader market: the equal weighting opportunity

The travel sector is potentially facing a record-breaking summer season. Airlines are witnessing substantial demand and are expanding their services to meet it. There are similar signs in the hotel and online booking sectors, which are expected to benefit from the anticipated surge in passenger traffic. Meanwhile, cruise lines are seeing record levels of bookings, marking a return of interest and trust in the industry since the pandemic-era. 

In this webinar we’ll be joined by two experts in the travel sector to discuss how investors could potentially capture this trend.

Travel is back – is there a summer boom coming?

The upcoming Bitcoin halving is one of the most highly anticipated events for Bitcoin, and for the wider crypto asset universe by extension. The halving refers to a 50% cut in the reward that Bitcoin miners receive for validating the blockchain.

As a result, the halving can be understood as a supply shock. This anticipated supply shock, combined with the added demand from the launch of Bitcoin spot ETFs in the US, has the potential to positively impact prices.

In this webinar we will look at:
• Why the halving is a key event in cryptocurrency markets
• The historic impact of previous Bitcoin halvings on the price of Bitcoin
• The potential impact of the Bitcoin halving on cryptocurrency miners

Speakers:
• Bradley Duke, Founder and Chief Strategy Officer at ETC Group
• Hector McNeil, Co-Founder and Co-CEO at HANetf

Bitcoin supply shock: What the halving means for Bitcoin

Its 31 member states account for over half of global military spending, manpower of over a billion people, and three nuclear-armed powers – it is the longest lasting, and arguably most powerful, alliance in the world.

But recent geopolitical turmoil has stretched its resources. For years, many NATO members were falling short of the 2% of GDP military spending target outlined by the alliance, and the ongoing conflicts of Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Palestine have depleted stockpiles further. This situation must change, and soon.

Last year, HANetf launched Future of Defence UCITS ETF (NATO). The ETF provides exposure to global companies generating revenues from NATO and non-NATO ally defence and cyber defence spending. Its “NATO-screen” aims to ensure that the ETF is focused on responsible geopolitical actors. 

Join our webinar to learn how NATO members are bolstering their military spending and looking to gain the advantage in a new theatre of war – cyber.

Clean energy was the top contributor to China’s economic growth in 2023, contributing around 40% of the year-on-year increase in GDP across all sectors. In September 2020, President Xi Jinping announced that the People’s Republic of China will “aim to have CO2 emissions peak before 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality before 2060”.

Topics covered: 
• China being a world-leader in both domestic adoption and manufacture of low carbon technologies.  
• Moving toward a low carbon economy means greater demand for materials such as copper, lithium and uranium.
• China’s imports for these materials is set to grow amidst already growing demand from other countries pursuing decarbonisation.
• HANetf's range of ETFs designed to allow investors to capture this growing demand.

Join HANetf's Jake Coulson as he explores ETF ideas for China’s decarbonisation.

Emerging markets and tech megatrends: Investing in the digital revolution

Mexico’s economy stands out among the rest of Latin America. The country has one of the lowest debt-to-GDP ratios in the region and comparatively higher fiscal space. Being comparatively well positioned macroeconomically has spurred investor interest in Mexican government debt, which is now among the most liquid and actively traded in the broader Latin American market. Given its investment grade status, its open economy, and its position as one of the largest emerging market economies, Mexican debt is also increasingly attractive for asset managers in Europe.

We will be covering:
- The economic outlook of Mexico
- The case for Mexican bonds
- Why a UCITS ETF is the best way to access the market

Speakers:
Jessica Roldán Peña, Chief Economist at Finamex

Investing in Mexico: The case for Mexican government bonds

The Exchange Traded Certificates (ETC) structure has proven popular with European investors over the past two decades, accounting for approximately one-third of all Exchange Traded Products (ETPs) and $90bn of AUM. Traditionally, U.S. firms looking to tap into the European market and globalize their ETP reach would have to go down the UCITS ETF route. While attainable, this has proven a complex, costly, and time-consuming option to market. 

ACA Foreside has partnered with HANetf to offer an exclusive, simple, and straightforward solution for U.S. ETF clients to enter the European ETP market. Join us to learn about this first to market solution and how you can leverage an ETC to gain access to this vital market.
