Natixis Enters Europe’s Active ETF Market With Three New Funds

Natixis Investment Managers is preparing to launch its first own-brand UCITS ETFs in Europe, filing three active strategies covering euro government bonds, euro corporate bonds, and U.S. growth equities. The funds will be managed by affiliates Ostrum Asset Management and Loomis Sayles and are expected to launch in the second half of 2026. Natixis has also hired ETF specialist Charlie Macpherson from Robeco, signaling a broader push into the fast-growing active ETF market as competition intensifies among major European asset managers.
