BNP Paribas Asset Management (‘BNPP AM’) announced today the listing of a suite of equity and fixed income alpha seeking strategies within its active ETFs range. The BNP Paribas Easy Alpha Enhanced ETF range integrates and leverages on BNPP AM’s systematic multi-factor approach to security selection, with limited levels of tracking error. Four ETFs are now listed on Euronext Paris (three equities and one fixed income) while the whole suite of six ETFs will be listed on Deutsche Börse Xetra next week (details below).
Key characteristics:
- A range of active ETFs aiming to outperform their benchmark after fees
- Multiple core building blocks on equity and corporate bond markets
- Building on the existing track records of our multi-factor strategies
- A low-TE2 positioning aiming for high risk-adjusted returns
The BNP Paribas Easy Alpha Enhanced ETFs provide comprehensive exposures to major equity and corporate bond markets across several regions (US, Europe, Global). These funds benefit from BNPP AM’s quantitative security selection approach, incorporating factors such as value, quality, momentum, and a low-risk approach. It systematically ranks and selects securities, to outperform the benchmark over the medium term.
These new BNPP AM active ETFs are classified as Article 8 under the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR).
“Today, we are listing a new suite of alpha-seeking ETFs to deliver targeted investment solutions leveraging the long and well recognised expertise of our specialised quantitative teams. Alpha Enhanced indexing aims to provide investors with products with a significantly lower TE than traditional active strategies. ” explains Sabrina Principi, Global Head of ETF and Index Business Development at BNPP AM. “These new ETFs showcase our ambition to expand our ETF offerings over time to address the evolving demands of our clients.”
" We don’t chase alpha – we engineer it. Our enhanced ETF platform builds on quantitative expertise and technology to provide investors with innovative solutions that meet their growing needs," said Olivier Laplénie, Head of Quant Portfolio Management at BNPP AM. “We consider multi-factor investing to be a highly effective strategy for generating alpha with low tracking errors, making it especially well-suited for enhanced solutions that seek optimal risk-adjusted returns. It can appeal to both passive investors looking to add some alpha, and to active investors in search of risk-controlled products."
