New on Xetra: active ETFs from BNP Paribas enable sustainable exposure to companies worldwide

November 12, 2024--Since Tuesday, two new exchange-traded funds issued by BNP Paribas Asset Management have been tradable on Xetra and Börse Frankfurt.
The BNP Paribas Easy Sustainable World UCITS ETF is available to investors in the euro and US dollar share classes and pursues an active sustainable investment strategy based on the MSCI World Index.

When selecting the investment universe, the investment management applies a binding and comprehensive ESG integration approach in order to improve the ESG profile of the fund relative to the index.

The aim is to exclude companies with poor ESG scores or controversial business areas and to achieve a lower carbon footprint and reduced greenhouse gas emissions intensity. Gender diversity in management and supervisory bodies is also taken into account. In addition, according to Article 2 (17) of the Disclosure Regulation, at least 45 per cent of the portfolio must be invested in sustainable investments.
