Completely exited quickly. I had bought this ETF with a view to NFTs. Early this year, those NFTs started to get quite popular. Many of those NFTs have to be paid with Ethereum. Reason enough for me to buy this ETF. But since the invasion of Ukraine, I've seen NFT sales drop. People are now not thinking about picking up a new hype. It could well become a hype. But it is still too early to invest in this ETF based on that. I see cryptos and also stock markets making a bounce back today (temporarily bouncing up after a significant drop). With this ETF, I'll just use that to get out. We have also seen cryptos react negatively to the conflict in Ukraine. Due to the higher energy costs (oil), mining cryptos will also become more expensive or even no longer interesting. That too is a risk.
Mission accomplished.
This ETF or actually ETN (Exchange Traded Note) does not belong to any group. Reason to place this ETN in each group so that all ETF customers can take note of it. Maybe now it looks like I'm going to invest in cryptos. No, I've never done anything with cryptos myself and I'm not going to do it. So why did you buy this Ethereum crypto ETN? I expect NFTs to become very large. Now it is quite difficult to buy exactly that NFT that will generate a lot of money later on. Too big a risk for me. Nevertheless, I want to be able to profit from the great success that these NFTs are likely to become. After research I found out that almost all those NFTs use the Ethereum blockchain and have to be paid with Ethereum. The reason is that the Ethereum blockchain is extremely suitable for NFTs. The Bitcoin blockchain, for example, is not. Ethereum is currently the absolute market leader among NFTs as a means of payment with more than 95%. There will be alternatives. But it is likely that Ethereum will remain the market leader. So almost everyone who buys an NFT has to buy Ethereum first. If those NFTs become a success, Ethereum will rise sharply due to all those purchases. And that's the reason I'm buying this ETN. But there's more. The energy consumption of most cryptos is huge. Ethereum has the solution. With “the Merge” they will switch to a new type of blockchain in the course of this year. The energy consumption can then be about 1000 times lower and the transaction costs can therefore also be significantly reduced. So with investing in this Ethereum ETN I kill 2 birds with 1 stone. This year, Ethereum will become an extremely low-power crypto that will beat Bitcoin. And the main reason for me; I have a nice spot on the just departing NFT train. Two things are important for a significant increase in this ETN: NFTs must become a great success and even better a hype. Ethereum should remain one of the most widely used means of payment for buying an NFT.
The target was 25%. With 19% profit already within 1 month sold. This ETF includes companies that pay out dividends. More and more companies are abolishing the dividend. That creates a risk.

A severely punished ETF. First because of Asia and now because of the coronavirus measures in New Zealand and Australia. In Asia, however, the coronavirus is already under control. The risk of it becoming very large in New Zealand and Australia is limited. Weather conditions but also sparsely populated. All shares included in this ETF pay a dividend. That dividend percentage has only increased because of the low price. Therefore, this ETF will be able to recover quickly.
The movement of this ETF has been mainly sideways. As a result of the trade war between the US and China, disappointments can be expected in Asia. Asian real estate prices will suffer from this. In good times little increase of this ETF. Therefore, now risks increase the position closed.
A total of 3 purchases in May, September and November 2016. The average profit target in one year was 33%. Sold because the target is reached.
This iShares Asia Pacific Dividend UCITS ETF has quotations on different exchanges and is known under several ticker symbols. As long as the ISIN number is identical you are dealing with the same ETF.
Asia will continue to grow economically. Companies from Australia and New Zealand are also included in this ETF. Especially Australia suffered from low iron ore prices. But those prices rise again. The financial sector and industry are the largest in this ETF. Two sectors that will do well in a better global economy. The companies included in these ETFs are chosen on the basis of the dividend paid out. In the case of a better economy, the dividend paid out per quarter may continue to increase.
