Building on its recognized expertise in active and index management, Amundi today announces the strengthening of its active ETF range with the launch of the Amundi EUR Ultra Short-Term Bond Active UCITS ETF and the Amundi Global Corporate Bond Active UCITS ETF.
These launches extend Amundi's fixed income active ETF range from money market and EUR corporate bond to Short term and global corporate bond strategies. As Amundi continues to strengthen its offering with solutions tailored to diverse investor needs, the range will expand further in the coming months with a US exposure.
Amundi EUR Ultra Short-Term Bond Active UCITS ETF seeks slightly longer-term and credit premiums than money market funds and aims to deliver an attractive balance between yield potential, liquidity and short duration. The strategy is well suited for investors aiming to capture short term bonds return with a limited exposure to rates volatility. The ETF is based on Amundi’s long-standing Short-Term Bond strategy led by Nathalie Coffre, Head of Short-Term Strategies.
Amundi Global Corporate Bond Active UCITS ETF is built on a long-established global credit bond strategy, managed by an experienced team led by Steven Fawn, Head of Global Credit, which combines top-down fundamental analysis with bottom-up selection to optimize value generation. The ETF provides efficient, liquid access to investment grade corporate issuers, and aims to enable investors to capture credit opportunities across global markets.
Both ETFs are listed on Xetra and classified as Article 8 under the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation.
