Allspring Files for Active International Equity ETF Targeting MSCI EAFE Outperformance

Allspring Global Investments has filed to launch the Allspring Disciplined International Equity ETF, an actively managed fund seeking long-term capital appreciation through a risk-controlled stock selection strategy. The proposed ETF will invest at least 80% of its net assets, plus investment borrowings, in foreign equities, with at least 80% of total assets allocated to developed markets and up to 20% to emerging markets. The strategy combines quantitative research and fundamental analysis to identify companies with attractive valuations, strong financial quality and favorable price momentum. Rather than taking large deviations from its benchmark, the fund aims to outperform the MSCI EAFE Index through individual stock selection while maintaining broadly similar market characteristics. Justin Carr and Vince Fioramonti are listed as portfolio managers
