We are taking out the Lyxib ETF (IBEX35 Spain) due to the lower interest rates that penalize the banking sector, which is 1/3 of the Spanish index.

One exit and one entry in our Active Euro Portfolio – 30/08/17

We are replacing it with a much more dynamic ETF that is less correlated with Stoxx600, which has a positive momentum and a significant upward potential in the short and medium term: the Lyxor WIG ETF (Polish WIG20 index).
