Schroders today unveils the launch of its latest active exchange traded fund (ETF) in Europe, growing its range of products as clients increasingly demand active investment exposure through an ETF wrapper.
The Schroder Global Equity Custom Active UCITS ETF will list on the London Stock Exchange on Tuesday 20 January. It aims to provide capital growth and income in excess of its benchmark[1] after fees over a three-to-five-year period by investing in global equities.
The ETF is a custom-made investment vehicle, designed in partnership with a strategic Nordic client based on their specific requirements. It underscores Schroders’ commitment to working in partnership to design and produce bespoke investment products.
This follows the launch of Schroders’ first two active ETFs in Europe in 2025, with the global ETF franchise having surpassed $1 billion in assets under management.
Tom Stephens, Head of ETFs, Schroders, said:
“We are moving at pace to grow our active ETF offering, with this latest launch showcasing our ability to develop a range of exchange-traded products to meet client demand.
“The Schroder Global Equity Custom Active UCITS ETF marries the operational advantages of an ETF wrapper with the bespoke requirements of our clients.”
Henrik Jonsson, Head of Nordics & The Netherlands, Schroders, said:
“The co-creation of the Schroder Global Equity Custom Active UCITS ETF, in partnership with a strategic Nordic client, reinforces our commitment to delivering first class investment solutions, designed to meet clients’ specific investment objectives.”
Managed by the Quantitative Equity Products (QEP) Investment Team, the ETF adopts an actively managed strategy.
