SIX Swiss Exchange said Monday that it has welcomed Schroders as its newest Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) issuer, marking the asset manager’s entry into the Swiss ETF market with the listing of the Schroder ETFs ICAV Global Equity Active UCITS ETF USD ACC.
The launch allows Schroders to tap into SIX’s extensive distribution network and investor base, which includes both institutional and retail investors across Switzerland.
SIX, one of the first European exchanges to introduce an ETF segment in 2000 and to list active ETFs in 2011, described the move as further diversification of its active ETF offering.
Johanna Kyrklund, Group Chief Investment Officer at Schroders, said: “Schroders is bringing more than 220 years of active investment expertise into European active ETFs for the first time. In today’s dynamic market environment, access to market-leading active management expertise is crucial.”
Schroders’ entry into Switzerland expands its active ETF footprint, building on earlier launches in Australia and the U.S., where it partnered with Hartford Funds.
Meagen Burnett, Chief Financial Officer at Schroders, said the development “demonstrates our ability to harness the scale of Schroders’ investment and operating platforms to enhance the distribution access points for existing and new clients.”
With Schroders’ addition, SIX now hosts 34 ETF issuers and 2,098 ETFs. ETF trading turnover at SIX has reached CHF 94.4 billion so far this year, up nearly 66% from the same period in 2024.
