BNP Paribas Asset Management (BNPP AM) proudly announces the listing of its fourth Equity ETF with an active ESG approach. This expanded suite of innovative exchange-traded funds (ETFs) offers investors exposure to all four main regions: World, US, Japan and Europe. The newly listed BNP Paribas Easy Sustainable Europe is a sub-fund of the BNP Paribas Easy Irish ICAV.
This subrange combines a traditional indexing approach with the active application of BNPP AM’s proprietary ESG methodology. These ETFs are designed for investors seeking a more focused approach to sustainability, adaptable to evolving regulations and label criteria while maintaining a relatively low tracking error. Investors can benefit from BNPP AM’s robust ESG rating methodology and policies for exclusions, voting, and engagement.
Since 2016, BNPP AM has broadened its offering from 16 listed ETFs to 63 ETFs listed on Xetra, continuously adapting to evolutions in the ETF field.
Claus Hecher, Regional Head of ETF Busines Dach & Nordics: “This launch reaffirms BNPP AM’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of sustainable investing. As pioneers in the ESG ETF space, BNPP AM understands that true innovation is not just about meeting today’s expectations but about anticipating the needs of tomorrow.”
