Deutsche Boerse welcomes Robeco as a new ETF issuer on Xetra

October 15, 2024--The first four actively managed equity portfolios cover companies worldwide, US or European regions as well as a dynamic multi-theme strategy.
Since Tuesday, four active exchange-traded funds from Robeco are tradable on Xetra and Börse Frankfurt for the first time.
The three Robeco 3D Equity UCITS ETFs pursue an active investment strategy focussing on companies worldwide, in the US or Europe.

The 3D investment strategy applied integrates risk, return and sustainability by means of a quantitative process. Depending on the region, the MSCI World, S&P 500 or MSCI Europe Index serves as a benchmark.

The investment managers aim to outperform the benchmark by weighting the benchmark stocks differently depending on their attractiveness or by investing in stocks outside the benchmark. Management determines the attractiveness of a company using the proprietary quantitative equity valuation model, which takes into account proven factors such as value, quality and momentum. Stocks with profitable operations, strong price momentum and positive analyst valuations are overweighted.
