Austria equity mutual funds and ETFs may be passively or actively managed. They may also leave currency exposure unhedged, or choose to protect the portfolio from swings in the value of the Euro. The Austrian economy, the world’s 33rd largest by nominal Gross Domestic Product, is characterized by a market-based system alongside a significant social safety net. International tourism and industry are the two largest components of the economy. Machinery and equipment and automobiles represent key exports for Austria, and business investment has been solid in recent years, despite the COVID-19 pandemic. One notable economic risk is that Austria’s fortunes are closely tied to its largest trading partner, Germany. As a developed market economy, Austria equity mutual funds and ETFs are often purchased by conservative-minded investors. Last Updated: 11/21/2024 View more View less
