  • Etf фонды список самых лучших для российского инвестора на московской бирже

    В данной статье мы рассмотрим несколько лучших ETF-фондов на Московской бирже, которые будут интересны российским инвесторам. Такая возможность положительно сказывается на диверсификации и снижает риски. При этом что такое back-end разработка вложения денег через фонд дешевле по сравнению с самостоятельным формированием портфеля. Это фонд, торгуемый на бирже, который позволяет через покупку отдельных лотов вкладывать деньги в активы со всего мира.

    Обычно маркетмейкингом занимаются брокерские компании, но бывают и специализированные организации. Цена одной акции фонда — это результат деления стоимости всего, что есть в фонде, на количество выпущенных акций. Существует комиссия за управление фондом — это могут быть цифры в районе 0,5–1% в год и в эту сумму не входит комиссия биржи, брокера или депозитария. Плата за управление уменьшает стоимость акций фонда, отдельно ее платить не надо. Лично мне просто психологически более комфортно иметь в портфели акции компаний, а не паи фонда… Хотя прекрасно понимаю, что ETF – это мощный и крутой инструмент для действительно пассивного инвестирования.

    1. Он представляет собой портфель активов, который отслеживает определенный индекс или сектор экономики.
    2. Несмотря на это, можно выделить ряд активов с повышенным риском и потенциально большей доходностью, которые позволяют отдельно инвестировать в небольшую группу компаний.
    3. Это посредник, который берет комиссию и получает доход при любой ситуации на рынке.
    4. Отдельные фонды выплачивают дивиденды, однако это редкость для провайдеров, представленных в России.
    5. Они позволяют инвесторам приобретать доли портфеля активов, который отражает производительность определенного индекса или сектора рынка.

    На Московской бирже есть ещё парочка ETF, которые копируют индекс S&P500. Если FXUS и SBSP в качестве активов держат в фонде акции компаний, то VTBA и AKSP держат доли американского ETF iShares Core S&P 500. То есть данные фонды выступают посредниками, которые платят комиссию американскому ETF в размере 0,07%, а с вас удерживают 0,9% (это почти в 13 раз больше!). Глава Berkshire Hathaway Уоррен Баффет также советует частным инвесторам покупать фонды. «Большинство инвесторов, скорее, выиграет, просто купив индекс S&P 500 на долгосрочную перспективу, а не отбирая акции самостоятельно, даже если это акции Berkshire Hathaway. Средний человек неспособен самостоятельно отбирать акции», — говорил он в ходе собрания акционеров финансового конгломерата.

    Определение ETF фондов

    Покупая акцию фонда, вы как бы становитесь владельцем небольшой части этого набора. ETF FXRL от FinEx инвестирует в акции Российских эмитентов, включенных в долларовый индекс РТС. РТС — это тот же индекс МосБиржи, но номинированный в долларах. Если меняется курс рубля что такое джоббер к доллару, то изменяется долларовая, а не рублевая цена FXRL. В пользу FinEx’а можно отнести чуть меньшую комиссию за управление и более солидный возраст самого фонда. Но стоит помнить, что FXUS копирует немного другой индекс, не сильно отличающийся от S&P500.

    Фонд драгметаллов

    Это связано с их особенностями торговли на бирже и отсутствием необходимости активного управления портфелем. Более низкие комиссии позволяют инвесторам сэкономить на расходах и увеличить свою потенциальную доходность от инвестиций. ETF-фонды являются привлекательным инструментом для российских инвесторов, так как они предлагают широкий спектр возможностей для диверсификации портфеля и инвестирования в различные активы.

    Все эти преимущества делают ETF фонды привлекательными инвестиционными инструментами для российского инвестора на Московской бирже. ETF фонды работают по принципу пассивного управления, что означает, что они стремятся отслеживать производительность определенного индекса, а не превзойти его. Это отличает их от активно управляемых фондов, где портфель Что такое валютные интервенции активов выбирается и управляется профессиональным управляющим. Первый российский биржевой фонд (“российский ETF” или “ETF по российскому праву”) появился в сентябре 2018 года. При этом под российским биржевым фондом подразумевается биржевой паевой инвестиционный фонд (БПИФ) в соответствии с законом “Об инвестиционных фондах” (156-ФЗ).

    Ценные бумаги паевых инвестиционных фондов

    И с ростом диджитализации наших жизней этот тренд только продолжится. Поэтому среди тематических фондов мы бы отдали сейчас предпочтению сектору полупроводников», — отметил эксперт. В УК «Открытие», несмотря на непростую ситуацию в сегменте российских облигаций, ожидают в 2022 году двузначную цифру доходности и считают ее оправданной. «Чем ниже цены сейчас, тем на большую потенциальную доходность мы можем рассчитывать. И если посмотреть на историю, за худшим годом на рынке облигаций обычно идет лучший — так было после кризисов 2008 и 2014 годов», — объяснил позитивный прогноз Евгений Горбунов.

    ETF фонды обычно имеют низкие комиссии по сравнению с другими инвестиционными инструментами. Это обусловлено тем, что ETF фонды пассивно управляются, отслеживая определенный индекс или отрасль. Пассивное управление позволяет снизить затраты на анализ и выбор акций, что сказывается на низких комиссиях для инвесторов.

    ETF фонды (Exchange-Traded Funds) – это инвестиционные фонды, торгуемые на бирже, которые отслеживают определенный индекс или сектор рынка. ETF фонды предоставляют возможность инвестировать в широкий спектр активов, таких как акции, облигации, сырьевые товары и другие, с целью диверсификации портфеля. Они включают акции и депозитарные расписки Московской биржи, ценные бумаги IT-сектора и широкого рынка США, еврооблигации, а также лучшие активы компаний из Европы или Азии. ETF (Exchange-Traded Fund) – это инвестиционный фонд, торгующийся на бирже, который отслеживает динамику определенного индекса или сектора рынка. ETF (Exchange-Traded Fund) – это инвестиционный фонд, торгуемый на бирже, который представляет собой портфель активов и позволяет инвесторам получить доступ к различным классам активов.

    Untuk menggambarkan dengan lebih menarik tentang keunggulan dan keistimewaan golongan yang menghadapi masalah pendengaran, 42nd Pictures Sdn Bhd, yang dijalankan oleh pasangan suami isteri, Yasu Tanaka dan Bea Tanaka, menghadirkan karya terbaru mereka, filem bertajuk “magiK.

    Filem bergenre drama, keluarga dan fantasi arahan Tanaka itu menampilkan barisan pelakon hebat seperti Beto Kusyairy, Nadia Aqilah, Nam Ron, Ruminah Sidek, Roy Azman, Kamarul Eqifshah dan bintang cilik, Qisya Hairulzain.

    Tanaka berkata, magiK yang juga filem kedua arahannya itu bukan sekadar mengangkat kisah gadis pekak yang mampu berkomunikasi dengan kelip-kelip, malah menjadi medium untuk penonton mendekati golongan berkenaan.

    “Idea menghasilkan “magiK” apabila idea kami disatukan iaitu hubungan isteri, Bea dengan komuniti pekak dan minat saya terhadap alam alam semula jadi.”

    “ Begitulah cara dua idea ini digunakan untuk mencipta cerita seorang gadis pekak yang boleh berkomunikasi dengan kelip-kelip,” kata Tanaka yang juga pengarah filem Nota kelahiran Jepun.

    Sehubungan itu, tayangan khas filem “magiK” diadakan di beberapa lokasi terpilih di seluruh Malaysia selama dua bulan pada September dan Oktober lalu sebelum ditayangkan di pawagam pada 30 November 2023.

    Tujuan tayangan khas itu ialah untuk berkongsi filem “magiK” dengan penonton. Selaku pengarah dan penulis skrip filem ini, Tanaka dan Bea yang juga penerbit turut turun padang di semua lokasi terbabit.

    Mengulas konsep tayangan khas berkenaan, Bea berkata, pihaknya mahu menampilkan kelainan untuk masyarakat luar bandar termasuk golongan bermasalah pendengaran supaya dapat menonton filem berkenaan.

    “Versi yang ditayangkan untuk tayangan khas ini ialah versi ‘closed caption’ yang memudahkan penonton dari komuniti bermasalah pendengaran.”

    “Filem “magiK” memaparkan masyarakat Kampung Kuantan, Kuala Selangor, Selangor dan kami mahu mendekati golongan sasaran seperti masyarakat luar bandar menerusi konsep tayangan khas ini.”

    “Kami berterima kasih kepada PORT Ipoh yang menaja tayangan di Ipoh untuk dua hari. Tayangan ini kami bekerjasama dengan Persatuan Orang Pekak Perak dengan menjemput komuniti pekak.

    “Kami juga menjemput sekolah pendidikan khas sekitar Ipoh dengan kerjasama Jabatan Pendaftaran Negeri (JPN) Perak,” katanya.

    Tanaka pula berkata, Bea adalah bekas guru pendidikan khas untuk golongan bermasalah pendengaran selama 15 tahun dan masih akrab dengan golongan istimewa itu.

    “magik” adalah filem kedua arahan Tanaka selepas Nota ditayangkan di pawagam pada 2015.

    Katanya, dia juga berpeluang melihat konsep tayangan wayang pacak pada 2017, apabila KOMFIT telah menjayakan Nota di mana En.Hassan Abdul Mutalib sebagai moderator ketika itu.

    “Pengalaman itulah yang mendorong kami mengadakan tayangan khas di Road Trip dengan konsep wayang pacak. Kami amat teruja berinteraksi secara langsung dengan penonton yang hadir pada tayangan khas berkenaan,” katanya.

  • Universal Music Malaysia released the highly anticipated debut album of DOLLA, titled “New Classic”

    The digital release of DOLLA’s debut album under the label, “New Classic,” was proudly announced today by Universal Music Malaysia. The album features seven tracks total—five new tracks and two previously released tracks—that expertly combine a variety of genres, from dance-pop to R&B. It was produced by both domestic and foreign producers, most notably Hyuk Shin from South Korea. The album highlights each member’s musical versatility with a wide range of emotions and musical styles, from upbeat, energetic tracks to soulful, mid-tempo pieces.

    Comprising of Angel, Sabronzo, Syasya and Tabby, DOLLA burst onto the Malaysian music scene in 2020 with their debut single, ‘DOLLA Make You Wanna’ and have been making waves ever since. Known for their dynamic, compelling, ambitious, and unapologetic approach towards their music and visual expression, DOLLA truly embodies the vibe of the current generation. To date, the group has released seven (7) solo singles and five (5) collaboration songs that have managed to capture the attention of local music fans and a global social media following.

    The album is set to redefine the essence of a classic bringing with it a new attitude, a fresh perspective of DOLLA’s unique sound and the narrative of empowerment honing on female strength. According to Tabby, other than being a highly entertaining album, ‘New Classic’ is ultimately about making a statement, “The new generation has a responsibility to make songs that will be the classics of the future. In that sense, DOLLA is on a constant mission to push the boundaries and put out songs that can be considered as ‘the new classics’ for generations to come”.

    She further explains, “We had about a year on average to work on the album. DOLLA as a group are heavily involved with the album’s creative process. For example, the song ‘drip’ is the first song that witnessed DOLLA members writing lyrics and composing the melody. For the album, we worked with some of the best writers and producers in the industry and collaborated with the producers to make the songs more customised to DOLLA. In short, we collectively ‘DOLLA-fy’ them, thus making the album a lot more personal to us”.

    As further asserted by Syasya, the youngest member of the group, “The recording process is pretty challenging as all songs in the album are very different from each other and have their own vibe that requires specific attention by each member of DOLLA. Thankfully, everyone that we worked with during recording process helped us a lot”.

    The seven (7) tracks that made up ‘New Classic’ are ‘CLASSIC’ (Title track), ‘DAMELO’, ‘MASA’, ‘drip’, ‘best side’, ‘BO$$ UP’ and ‘DAMELO (English version)’. The title track, ‘CLASSIC’ and ‘BO$$ UP’ are produced by Hyuk Shin, an A-list multi-platinum South Korean producer and songwriter. He has worked with global superstars such as Justin Bieber, Anderson Paak, Blackbear, Dean, NCT, Super Junior, TXT, Exo, Monsta X, Shinee, Girls’ Generation and many more.

    ‘CLASSIC’ in particular is written to set the tone for the album as a whole. Armed with an infectious beat and catchy lyrics, ‘CLASSIC’ is an empowering song about owning your power and standing out from the crowd. The music video for ‘CLASSIC’, also released today on YouTube, was fully filmed on location in Thailand. Essentially, this requires all four members of DOLLA to travel to Thailand and work with a production team made up of the country’s professional film crew.

    When asked about ‘CLASSIC’, Angel confessed that the song could be said to be one of her favourites from the album. She explains, “As a song, ‘CLASSIC’ truly represents DOLLA and where the group is currently heading. With lyrics that manifested a sense of dominance and power, it is also DOLLA’s first song with an anti-drop chorus and a 
cheerful bridge. I think it’s definitely a different approach to DOLLA’s usual type of song. On top of this, we are extremely excited for the release of the music video for ‘CLASSIC’. It’s a new experience for us to be shooting overseas for the first time and the production crew did not disappoint! Positively a remarkable work exposure for all of us”.

    Also included in the album is DOLLA’s most recent release, ‘DAMELO’, written and produced by Hard Lights. Meaning ‘Give It To Me’ in Spanish, it is a techno-Latin inspired track with a strong female empowerment message. Upon release, ‘DAMELO’ trended at #1 on overall videos and #2 in the music category on YouTube Malaysia. It accumulated over 200,000 views in 24 hours and over 500,000 views within 4 days. Since it was released three (3) months ago, ‘DAMELO’ has garnered 2.4 million views on YouTube. The song charted in Spotify Top 200 and Apple Music Top 200 within 7 days of release. These noteworthy achievements have cemented DOLLA’s status as one of the most impactful groups in the country’s music scene.

    Sabronzo says, “We think ‘New Classic’ perfectly represents the evolution of DOLLA and our signature sound. We’re excited to let our supporters in on what we’ve been brewing up this past year. Each member was super involved in the track curation as well as the creative process, which makes it very much our “baby” and we absolutely LOVE IT – and hope you all do too!“

    In acknowledging the writers and producers of the album, Sabronzo expressed, “We are truly honoured to have the opportunity to collaborate with so many talented and experienced individuals on this project who are true professionals. We learned so much from them and the experience has definitely encouraged us to be better artists, for ourselves and for our fans. We hope you would enjoy ‘New Classic’ as much as we have enjoyed creating it for you”.

    Kim Lim, Managing Director of Universal Music Malaysia, commented, “I am extremely proud of DOLLA’s achievements and at Universal Music Malaysia, we have high hopes that this album will take them further in the music industry both locally and internationally. They have proven to us that DOLLA is a force to be reckoned with and looking at their tremendous effort and tenacity, despite being new, I am confident that these songs are future classics, and DOLLA is well on their way to become icons of the new generation”.

    ‘New Classic’ is available now on all streaming platforms. DOLLA is also set to launch their album at #DOLLAVILLA on 21 November 2023. Built within the confines of a luxurious villa, #DOLLAVILLA will feature various immersive activations such as a stage built on a pool and a smashing performance by DOLLA for local and regional guests invited to the one-of-a-kind event. Also, to be revealed at #DOLLAVILLA is DOLLA X CERM Classic Perfume – a limited edition Huile de Parfum, marking one of DOLLA’s first-ever exclusive releases. This scent translates DOLLA’s Album beats into a beautiful scent, resulting in a uniquely modern fragrance, a true collector’s gem. A must have for enthusiasts of unique fragrances, and especially DOLLA’s die-hard fans. This fragrance will be available for purchase at cermskin.com/dolla from 30th November onwards.

  • Sony Unveils Three Wireless Microphones with Unparalleled Portability and Sound Quality

    Sony presents the ECM-W3 and ECM-W3S wireless microphones, as well as the wireless streaming microphone ECM-S1. These cutting-edge microphones offer high-quality sound capture while being lightweight. Sony’s ECM-W3, ECM-W3S, and ECM-S1 models enable video content makers to accomplish outstanding audio recording across a wide range of shooting circumstances.

    The ECM-W3 has a two-channel receiver and two microphones and the ECM-W3S has a one-channel receiver and one microphone. Both the ECM-W3 and ECM-W3S are perfect for video content creators who work in a wide range of shooting scenarios such as Vlogs and interviews, where it allows you to easily record high-quality voices even when you are shooting away from the camera.

    The ECM-W3 wireless microphone is an ideal solution for interviews and one-on-one conversations and the ECM-W3S microphone excels in capturing clear and articulate user voices for vloggers and video contents creators with a focus on delivering a natural organic sound. These microphones ensure exceptional sound pickup while effectively reducing noise. In addition to Multi-Interface (MI) Shoe compatibility with Sony cameras, compatibility is further enhanced through a USB Type-C® terminal and 3.5mm audio output which enables connections with a range of devices equipped with USB terminal and 3.5mm audio input such as cameras, smartphone, and PC etc. The microphone also comes equipped with a convenient charging case, allowing for hassle-free portability.

    For professional videographers and video content creators who require top-notch audio quality for shoots, livestreams, and podcasts, the ECM-S1 microphone is the ultimate tool. The microphone has a compact and lightweight body and is equipped with three 14 mm large-diameter capsules tuned to capture human voices naturally and with high-quality sound. Its seamless connection to cameras, computers, and smartphones makes an indispensable asset for content creators seeking a dynamic and engaging audio-video experience. As audio is recorded directly to the camera via a wireless connection, “sound and video lag” that sometimes occurs when sound and video are input separately to a distribution device during live streaming does not occur, thus delay compensation is not required.

    Sony’s ECM-W3, ECM-W3S, and ECM-S1 microphones embody the brand’s commitment to innovation and excellence. With these new offerings, Sony continues to push the boundaries of audio technology, empowering creators to achieve remarkable sound quality across various content creation avenues.

    Main features of the “ECM-W3” and “ECM-W3S” wireless microphones

    Achieves high-quality sound pickup with reduced noise

    The ECM-W3 consists of a receiver and two microphones, and the ECM-W3S consists of a receiver and one microphone. By designing with sound quality in mind, Sony has achieved high-quality sound pickup with reduced noise.

    Equipped with a noise-cut filter that effectively reduces harsh noise with digital signal processing, and a low-cut filter that reduces unwanted low-frequency noise such as wind, air conditioning, and vibration noise. In addition, the included windscreen reduces the noise generated when strong wind or breath hits the microphone, making it possible to record clear audio with interference from the ambient environment. Working together, the filters and windscreen results in less noise removal processing during post-production.

    When connected to a Sony camera equipped with the Multi-Interface (MI) shoe, the ECM-W3 and ECM-W3S receiver is compatible with a digital audio interface, and the camera can then directly record the audio signal output. This enables superb sound recording with minimal noise interference. In addition, it is equipped with a safety function that suppresses sound distortion at high volumes, and an attenuator function that manually reduces the sound during high-volume recording. Both the “ECM-W3” and “ECM-W3S” deliver low power consumption, low latency, and high sound quality with Bluetooth 5.3 (Bluetooth Low Energy) and LC3Plus codec.

    Enhanced convenience through versatile connectivity

    MI Shoe support enables greater flexibility with battery-free and cable-free shooting. Power is supplied directly from the camera to the receiver, so there is no need to worry about running out of battery. It also has a USB Type-C® terminal, so it is possible to output digital audio (48kHz/24bit) from the receiver to a USB-connected smartphone or PC. In addition, it is equipped with a 3.5mm mini jack (stereo) audio output terminal, ensuring compatibility with cameras, PCs, IC recorders, etc., that do not have an MI shoe. In addition, a terminal protection holder/stand for the multi-interface foot is included and can be used as a microphone stand when attaching the receiver to equipment other than a camera or attached to a smartphone clamp as an adapter with screw holes.

    Additionally, the microphone is equipped with a 3.5mm mini jack (monaural) which can be used as an external microphone input terminal. It can be used in combination with a lavalier microphone such as ECM-LV1, you are able to pick-up the subject’s voice while the microphone is hidden from view. The rechargeable microphone can be used continuously for up to 6 hours on a full charge.

    Compact and lightweight, high portability with charging case included

    The compact and lightweight microphone’s dimensions are 25.0mm x 52.5mm x 20.5mm (W/H/D) and weighs only 17g. The receiver is 32.0mm x 29.0mm x 50.0mm (W/H/D) and weighs 25g. Both the microphones and receivers can be used anywhere, anytime with ease. For added durability, the ECM-W3 and ECM-W3S are designed to be dustproof and moisture proof, which allows for worry-free outdoor usage.

    In addition, the lightweight and portable charging case makes it possible to charge while on the move.

    Main features of the wireless/streaming microphone “ECM-S1”

    High-quality sound pickup performance and synchronization of sound and video by connecting to a camera

    The ECM-S1 is equipped with three large-diameter (14mm) capsules that corresponds to three sound pickup modes: Uni-directional, Omni-directional and Stereo, providing high-quality sound pickup with high sensitivity, and wide frequency characteristics. The microphone’s intrinsic low noise levels and wide dynamic range allows for clear recording of even the softest sounds.

    By tuning it to record human voices naturally and clearly, the microphone can capture realistic and rich textured sound during recording that is unique to streaming microphones. It also has a noise cut filter that effectively removes harsh noise through digital signal processing, and a low-cut filter that reduces unnecessary low-frequency noise such as wind, air conditioning, and vibration, thus reducing the effects of the surrounding environment. The ECM-S1 has a full range of functions that reduce noise and support high-quality sound pickup.

    A new sound pickup style with a compact, lightweight housing and versatile connectivity

    The ECM-S1 microphone is light, weighing just 157g, and compact at 63.0 mm x 137.5 mm x 63.0 mm(W/H/D) with an ultra-light and compact receiver that weighs 25g at 32 mm x 29 mm x 50 mm (W/H/D). The Bluetooth 5.3 (Bluetooth Low Energy) and LC3plus codec deliver low power consumption, low latency, and high sound quality. Using wireless connection allows for a recording style that remains unaffected by environmental conditions. You can also achieve a new level of sound pickup, enabling talks and singing accompanied by musical instruments to be recorded in high sound quality.

    For connectivity, the receiver can be attached to a compatible camera via it’s MI Shoe. The microphone and receiver are equipped with USB Type-C® terminals that support 48 kHz/24-bit digital audio output. As a result, the microphone can record high quality sound in a variety of ways, such as connecting the microphone wirelessly to a PC or smartphone via the receiver’s USB or connecting the microphone directly to a PC or smartphone via USB. The receiver also has a 3.5mm mini jack (stereo) as an audio output terminal.

    High operability that meets the needs of diverse creators

    The microphone is equipped with an independent dial that adjusts the sound recording level. The ECM-S1’s audio input level volume can also be adjusted intuitively with the upper dial while checking the audio input level in real time with the indicator lamps. The built-in LINK lamp indicates the communication status between the microphone and receiver to prevent any missed recording.

    When recording via a USB connection between the microphone and a PC or smartphone, headphones (commercially available) can be connected to the microphone’s headphone out jack to monitor the audio without involving the connected device. The headphone volume can also be adjusted with a short press of the dial on the bottom of the microphone. You can adjust the audio mixing ratio between the input volume level of the audio from the microphone and that of the audio from the computer or smartphone via the USB connection with the headphone volume/mixing ratio adjustment dial on the microphone.

    The ECM-S1 and receiver each have a built-in battery for extended use. The receiver can also be used continuously with the support of direct power supply when connected to the camera’s MI Shoe or a USB Type-C® cable. The microphone can be used continuously for up to 13 hours when the battery is fully charged using a USB Type-C® cable.

    In addition, a pop guard reduces popping noises that occurs when the speaker’s mouth is close to the microphone and their breath comes into direct contact with the microphone. This enables vocals, narration, and other audio to be recorded under optimal conditions. A stand that can be attached to the microphone is also included, allowing the microphone to stand without support while recording. The microphone angle can also be adjusted forward or backward. Alternatively, the stand can be removed when not in use and the 1/4” thread on the bottom of the microphone allows it to be mounted on a tripod or attached to a commercially available microphone arm.

    Availability

    The ECM-S1, ECM-W3 and ECM-W3S wireless microphones will be available in Malaysia from November 2023.
