Allianz Global Investors Launches Active ETFs on SIX Swiss Exchange | LeapRate
Allianz Global Investors has become the newest ETF issuer on SIX Swiss Exchange, with the firm having recently announced it is adding four new exchange-traded funds to the market.
The move gives investors more ways to access actively managed ETFs through the Swiss exchange.
The new products, called the Allianz Smart Active ETF range, cover three equity strategies focused on global, European, and US markets. One of these strategies is offered in two different trading currencies, bringing the total number of listed funds to four.
These ETFs combine Allianz Global Investors’ rules-based investment approach with the flexibility of the ETF structure. This means investors can trade throughout the day while still benefiting from an active management style.
With this launch, SIX Swiss Exchange now counts 37 ETF issuers on its platform, showing steady growth in its listed investment products.
Alexandra Auer, Head of Distribution EMEA at Allianz Global Investors, stated that entering the active ETF market marks an important step for the firm. She added that SIX Swiss Exchange offers the right mix of regulated access, a smooth listing process, and strong investor reach in Switzerland.
Danielle Reischuk, Senior ETFs and ETPs Sales Manager at SIX Swiss Exchange, welcomed Allianz Global Investors to the platform. She noted that the new ETFs help expand Switzerland’s ETF market and reflect the ongoing growth of listed investment products in the country.
Allianz Global Investors manages investments across equities, fixed income, multi asset, and private markets. The firm works with institutional and retail clients to build long-term investment solutions suited to different market conditions.
