L&G Files 15 ETFs Across Dividends, Active Bonds and Thematics

Legal & General Asset Management has filed 15 UCITS ETFs in Ireland as it prepares a broad expansion of its European lineup across dividend, fixed income, systematic and thematic strategies. Six planned funds target quality-dividend exposures across the U.S., Europe, Japan, global equities, small caps and ex-banks. L&G is also moving deeper into active ETFs with frontier and emerging-market bond strategies, euro and U.S. corporate bond funds, a global capital securities ETF and a systematically managed Japan equity strategy developed with Daiwa. Additional filings include a Gerd Kommer multi-asset ETF, a digital infrastructure and data centres ETF, and a short-duration local-currency emerging-market government bond fund. The expansion builds on L&G’s recent ETF growth, with around $3.6 billion of EMEA net inflows year to date.
