Capital Group Hires DWS ETF Executive Ahead of European Launch

Capital Group has appointed Dan Davis as senior manager of ETF capital markets, overseeing EMEA and APAC, ahead of its planned European active ETF launch in Q1 2027. Davis joins from DWS, where he spent more than nine years, most recently serving as head of primary markets EMEA for Xtrackers. He previously worked at BlackRock for over seven years on its ETF broker-dealer execution team. The appointment follows Capital Group’s regulatory approval from the Central Bank of Ireland to introduce four active ETFs in Europe. The firm has also strengthened its regional leadership with Jamie Sinclair as head of ETFs for Europe and APAC, Jim Goldie as head of ETF capital markets, and David Nolten in DACH distribution. These hires underscore Capital Group’s preparations to establish its ETF business in the European market.
