Schroders Plans Major Global Active ETF Expansion

Schroders is preparing a broad expansion of its ETF platform, with new active UCITS strategies, additional hiring and a potential entry into Taiwan’s fast-growing ETF market. The manager also plans to expand its Australian presence and explore more Schroders-branded US ETFs, where it currently sub-advises Hartford Funds. In Europe, Schroders manages £3.7bn across six active ETFs and sees significant growth potential from model portfolios and multi-asset managers. The expansion signals ETFs will remain a key growth channel as Schroders moves toward completion of its £9.9bn acquisition by Nuveen.
