Brief Description

In recent years, ETFs have become one of the most important investment instruments for retail and institutional investors. They enable cost-effective, transparent, and broadly diversified investments in various assets such as stocks, bonds, and commodities. At the same time, their strong growth raises new questions for financial market research. The goal of this seminar is to examine how ETFs work and their impact on financial markets based on current research. The seminar will critically assess key research questions, empirical findings, and potential risks.
