Why you should look at US banks


Chanchal Samadder, Head of Equities, Lyxor ETF

INDUSTRY VOICE: In today’s video, Chanchal Samadder – Head of Equities for Lyxor ETF – discusses why US banks might warrant a place in your portfolio.

There’s a lot of opportunity in American banks. Rising rates give the potential for higher margins – and the sector could get a shot in the arm by the US administration’s planned deregulation campaign.”

Lyxor’s new S&P 500 Banks ETF specialises on banks and investment companies – excluding some of the less cyclical financial stocks held in other funds. Find out more about Lyxor’s new S&P 500 Banks ETF, listed on the London Stock Exchange with TER of 0.20%.
