Two absolute-return and two income-oriented strategies, designed to enhance long-term portfolio diversification and resilience across market cycles

ETFs are a core pillar of BNP Paribas Asset Management’s strategic plan which targets over €100bn of net inflows and more than 75 new products by 2030
BNP Paribas Asset Management (BNPP AM) today announced the listing of four actively-managed exchange-traded funds (ETFs): BNP Paribas Easy Equity Premium Income, BNP Paribas Easy European Equity Buffer, BNP Paribas Easy Global Equity Long Short and BNP Paribas Easy Managed Futures.
Combining the strengths of Asset Management and Global Markets, BNP Paribas is committed to providing investors with access to this next generation of ETFs by combining the Bank’s quantitative investment-strategy capability, proprietary modelling and deep market-structure knowledge developed within the Global Markets activities with BNPP AM’s robust infrastructure, unique structuring & portfolio management capabilities and liquidity monitoring expertise.
In recent years, the UCITS ETF universe has expanded rapidly, attracting a broad base of investors who now use these vehicles to build their portfolios. However, most available products are market-cap strategies. This traditional approach creates an opportunity to meet investors’ growing demand for solutions that address the objectives of enhanced portfolio management: diversified return sources, defined-outcomes, income generation, and long-term stability across market cycles.
Robinson Rouchie, Chief Investment Officer – Systematic & Quantitative Investments at BNP Paribas Asset Management, said: “ By listing this new suite of ETFs, we are accelerating investor access to sophisticated, yet essential, solutions that can improve portfolio diversification and resilience. Leveraging our long‑standing track record in structuring synthetic enhanced solutions, together with Global Markets’ systematic expertise, we provide clients with an innovative way to capture next‑generation strategies within an ETF wrapper. ”
Vincent Bérard, Head of Funds Solutions – Theam Quant at BNP Paribas Global Markets, added: “ Investors are increasingly seeking portfolio solutions that go beyond traditional market exposure, combining transparency, liquidity and disciplined risk management. By applying our systematic investment expertise, proprietary modelling and deep understanding of market dynamics to an ETF format, we are helping broaden access to strategies that were historically available through more specialised vehicles. This launch reflects the Group’s ability to pool its expertise and deliver scalable solutions that respond to evolving investor needs. ”
BNP Paribas Asset Management is listing four actively-managed ETFs today
Two of these strategies adopt an absolute-return investment style, focusing on generating returns that are largely independent of the direction of traditional equity markets:
-
BNP Paribas Easy Global Equity Long Short
The investment objective of BNP Paribas Easy Global Equity Long Short is to implement a model-driven strategy aiming to generate absolute returns while maintaining moderate exposure to global equity markets through synthetic long/short equity positions. Built on the MSCI Barra multi factor framework, it simultaneously allocates long positions with strong factor scores and short positions with weak scores, thereby extracting alpha from both sides of the market and limiting net beta exposure. This ETF is designed to enhance the risk-adjusted profile of a portfolio during periods of market stress or flat equity performance.
-
BNP Paribas Easy Managed Futures
The investment objective of BNP Paribas Easy Managed Futures is to increase the value of its assets over the medium term with moderate volatility by being exposed to a diversified long/short basket of futures contracts or forward instruments on different asset classes, using a systematic allocation method. By continuously rebalancing long and short exposures, it seeks to capture persistent price trends while delivering the low correlation and convexity characteristics historically associated with commodity trading advisor (CTA) strategies. The systematic CTA approach can introduce genuine diversification to a typical equity-bond portfolio.
Two other strategies adopt an income-oriented approach, delivering a defined outcome or income centric returns:
-
BNP Paribas Easy Equity Premium Income
The investment objective of BNP Paribas Easy Equity Premium Income is to provide income and capital growth by implementing a portfolio of options on major equity indices, which aims to generate premiums in bullish, stable, orderly or gradually declining markets. The collected premiums provide an equity linked income stream that is less sensitive to interest rate movements like fixed income solutions and typically exhibits lower volatility than a pure equity return.
-
BNP Paribas Easy European Equity Buffer
The investment objective of BNP Paribas Easy European Equity Buffer aims to provide a long exposure to the Euro Stoxx 50 index, with a predefined level of downside protection and a cap on potential upside performance. The levels of the buffer and cap are set for a one-year period. This structure offers investors a preset risk ceiling, making it especially suitable for capital preservation during the accumulation phase and for controlled drawdown management in the decumulation phase.

They will enable investors to build more efficient, long-term portfolios with improved risk-adjusted performance and tighter drawdown control.
They are now available on Euronext Paris, Deutsche Börse Xetra and SIX Swiss Exchange.
