Robeco has launched a quartet of actively-managed UCITS ETFs.
The funds are listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, with additional listings including in London expected in the coming months.
Three of the funds are part of Robeco’s ‘3D’ range, which balances balance between risk, return, and sustainability, with a vehicle launched for global, US, and European equities.
The firm has also listed the Robeco Dynamic Theme Machine UCITS ETF, which aims to use quantitative research to identify emerging investment themes early.
Karin van Baardwijk, CEO at Robeco, said: “Today’s launch marks a pivotal moment for Robeco as we expand our active management expertise into the ETF space. It reflects our strategic commitment to delivering innovative investment solutions that meet the diverse needs of our clients.

“The Dynamic Theme Machine ETF is all about being ahead of the curve – using data and AI to spot new themes early and rotating over time, adapting to market changes and capturing growth across a range of evolving sectors.”
