L&G debuts Europe's first global mid-cap ETF
January 26, 2026-Legal & General has kicked off 2026 with the launch of a new exchange-traded fund (ETF) targeting global mid-cap stocks, arguing that current market offerings force investors to bundle these assets with large-cap holdings.
The L&G MSCI World Mid Cap Ucits ETF (MIDS) was listed today on the London Stock Exchange, Xetra, Borsa Italiana and SIX Swiss Exchange, with a total expense ratio (TER) of 0.29%.
According to L&G, the strategy is Europe's first global mid-cap ETF and it tracks the MSCI World Mid Cap Index Net Total Return. While many global indices
