HANSAINVEST lists BIT Global Technology Leaders ETF on SIX

HANSAINVEST has listed the BIT Global Technology Leaders UCITS ETF on the SIX Swiss Exchange. The fund is an actively managed UCITS-compliant ETF that provides global exposure to leading technology and AI infrastructure companies and applies environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) criteria to stock selection.

The ETF is benchmark-agnostic and invests in equities from developed and emerging markets worldwide. The product targets firms that could benefit from wider adoption of artificial intelligence and structural technological change.

The underlying BIT Global Technology Leaders strategy has been used since 2019. The listing is the strategy’s first availability in an exchange-traded, active ETF wrapper, giving investors access to the same concentrated global portfolio and the same investment process and fund management.

HANSAINVEST becomes the 39th ETF issuer at SIX Swiss Exchange with the new listing. SIX noted the product expands ETF choices for Swiss investors and supports access to active ETF strategies focused on long-term technological innovation. The fund complies with EU UCITS rules, permitting investors in eligible jurisdictions to access the vehicle under the directive’s regulatory framework.

Portfolio managers for the active ETF select stocks based on the fund’s own criteria rather than tracking a fixed index. The selection emphasises leading technology and AI infrastructure firms filtered for ESG factors covering environmental, social and corporate governance aspects.

Dr Jörg W. Stotz, spokesman of the management board at HANSAINVEST, commented: “With the listing of the BIT Global Technology Leaders UCITS ETF at SIX Swiss Exchange, we are making the proven global technology strategy of our partner BIT Capital available to investors in an efficient exchange-traded format. The active ETF provides access to leading technology and AI infrastructure companies worldwide and is designed to capture opportunities arising from the increasing adoption of artificial intelligence and structural technological change.”

Danielle Reischuk, Senior ETFs & ETPs Sales Manager at SIX Swiss Exchange, added: “We are pleased to welcome the BIT Global Technology Leaders UCITS ETF to SIX Swiss Exchange. The listing further broadens the choice available to investors in Switzerland and underlines the continued relevance of active ETF strategies in areas shaped by long-term technological innovation. We thank HANSAINVEST for choosing SIX Swiss Exchange as listing venue and wish them strong investor interest and successful trading in this new product.”
