Combine fundamental research with efficient index exposure
Indexed ETF strategies provide predictable, cost-effective core solutions for investors looking to build efficient broad equity market exposure. However, active alpha will have a key role to play in a world of heightened policy and geopolitical uncertainty, where greater return dispersion is expected across assets.
By blending active security selection with passive index exposure within a robust environmental, social and governance (ESG) framework, our Research Enhanced Index (REI) ETFs seek positive alpha at low tracking error, providing highly efficient equity exposure that can be used to complement existing core portfolios, add diversification or to implement tactical views.
1.
Active security selection
Investment expertise
Active positions are implemented by highly experienced portfolio managers backed by the insight of our equity analyst teams around the globe.
2.
Potential alpha generation
Information advantage
Our proprietary provides the opportunity to generate excess returns by identifying undervalued and avoiding overvalued securities.
3.
Rigorous sustainability framework
ESG built in
Financially material ESG factors are rigorously applied to our Research Enhanced Index Equity ETFs categorised as Article 8 under the SFDR classification and our Research Enhanced Index SRI Paris Aligned ETFs are Article 9.
Invest in the best of active and passive
Our REI approach works by taking lots of small active stock or bond positions based on our proprietary equity and credit research, while also keeping regional and sector exposures close to the index at all times to maintain a consistently low tracking error.
The goal is to maximise alpha generation from security selection and to minimise uncompensated index risks—all while maintaining an attractive fee.
