Abstract

Indexfonds sind aufgrund ihrer Terminmarktgeschäfte mit Agrarrohstoffen ins Zentrum öffentlicher Aufmerksamkeit und Kritik geraten. Hierzu kursieren in den Medien zahlreiche Falschinformationen, deren Korrektur sich durch klar identifizierbare Forschungslücken der empirischen Literatur verzögert hat. Gleichwohl können folgende Erkenntnisse helfen, die Debatte zu versachlichen: Indexfonds folgen einer passiven Handelsstrategie. Sie zeichnen einen Markttrend nach. Hiervon geht eine preisstabilisierende Wirkung aus. Deshalb ist zu befürchten, dass regulatorische Einschränkungen der Geschäftsaktivität von Indexfonds in Form von strengen Positionslimits oder Preislimits der Funktionsweise von Terminmärkten nicht zuträglich, sondern abträglich sind.
