Trading Central launches TC Quant Europe 50 UCITS ETF

HANetf has launched the Trading Central Quant Europe 50 UCITS ETF (ticker: TCQE; ISIN: IE000DN0XQM1). The fund tracks the Solactive TC Quant 50 Index, carries a total expense ratio of 1.00% and uses physical replication.

The index selects the top 50 eligible securities as ranked by Trading Central’s rules-based TC Quantamental Rating. The rating assesses stocks across five factor groups: growth, value, income, quality and momentum. Constituents are equally weighted, capped at 17 securities per sector, and the index is rebalanced monthly to limit concentration.

Trading Central says the Solactive TC Quant Indices use the same framework to blend multiple factor exposures and systematic selection rules, and that the construction is intended to seek lower volatility and improved risk-adjusted returns over time.

The ETF is eligible for the French PEA tax account. HANetf is acting as issuer and distribution partner for the product.

Alain Pellier, CEO of Trading Central SA, commented: ‘For years, Trading Central has helped investors make more informed decisions through independent research and analytics. The introduction of our TC Quant ETF is a natural next step in our mission-one that transforms our proprietary insights into accessible investment products that investors can directly incorporate into their portfolios.’

Hector McNeil, co-founder and co-CEO of HANetf, added: ‘We are delighted to partner with Trading Central on the launch of this new ETF. Alain and the Trading Central team bring deep and proven expertise. With more than USD23 trillion in assets under management (AUM) globally, and flows into European ETFs up more than 15 per cent over the last quarter, ETFs are fast becoming the default vehicle for investors globally. The Trading Central Quant Europe 50 UCITS ETF (ticker: TCQE) allows European investors to gain access to this market alongside Trading Central’s proprietary rating system which is supported by more than 27 years of research, which has been successfully applied to a number of products in North America.’
