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.

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.

November 6, 2024--Since Wednesday, four new actively managed exchange-traded funds issued by J.P. Morgan Asset Management have been tradable on Xetra and Börse Frankfurt.

In return, the unlimited upside potential of the equity portfolio is foregone.
The written call options on equities or equity indices, usually on the reference index, are adjusted weekly to the changing market environment. The S&P 500 Index is the benchmark.
The JPM Nasdaq Equity Premium Income Active UCITS ETF pursues the same approach, but uses the Nasdaq-100 as the reference index.
