SEI Enters European ETF Market With First Batch of Active Quant ETFs

SEI has launched its first European ETFs, introducing a suite of seven actively managed quantitative equity strategies domiciled in Ireland and listed on Deutsche Börse. Developed by SEI’s Quantitative Investment Management (QiM) team, which oversees more than $35 billion in equity assets, the new range applies proprietary research models and active portfolio oversight to target value, momentum, quality and other equity factors. Six listings have been identified: QiM Global Value Alpha UCITS ETF (BRGN/BRGE), QiM Global Momentum Alpha UCITS ETF (TRND/TRNE) and QiM Global Quality Alpha UCITS ETF (QLYT/QLYE), with GBP and EUR accumulating share classes available for value and quality. The broader lineup will also include income and dynamic factor strategies, alongside emerging markets and small-cap equity exposures. The European expansion follows SEI's success in the U.S., where its quantitative active ETF range has attracted approximately $7 billion in assets.
