New on Xetra: J.P. Morgan launches further actively managed Research Enhanced Index ETFs and a climate-friendly ETF focussing on developed countries

October 22, 2024--Since Tuesday, five new exchange-traded funds issued by J.P. Morgan Asset Management have been tradable on Xetra and via Börse Frankfurt, four of which are actively managed.
The three new actively managed ETFs from the Research Enhanced Index series are available as accumulating share classes in euros and focus on companies from the USA, developed countries or emerging markets.

The investment management follows a fundamental bottom-up approach to stock selection and an enhanced approach to individual stock weighting.

Companies with the greatest potential for above-average performance are overweighted, while stocks that are considered to be the most overvalued are underweighted.

The JPM EUR Corporate Bond Research Enhanced Index (ESG) UCITS ETF-EUR (dist) pursues an active investment strategy and invests primarily in euro-denominated corporate bonds with an investment grade rating, regardless of the issuer's domicile.

The JPM Carbon Transition Global Equity (CTB) UCITS ETF- EUR (acc) tracks the performance of the JPMorgan Asset Management Carbon Transition Global Equity Index. The index is composed of large- and mid-cap stocks from developed markets and aims to meet the long-term goals of the Paris Climate Agreement.
