Universal Investment Debuts White-Label ETF Platform with Two Launches

Universal Investment has registered the first two ETFs on its new white-label platform in Ireland, marking the operational launch of its ETF offering. The initial products are the SMART EUR Overnight Rate UCITS ETF, a money market strategy targeting demand for cash-management solutions, and the KISS UCITS ETF, an actively managed multi-asset strategy developed with Swiss asset manager KISS. The move supports Universal’s strategy of helping traditional asset managers enter the ETF market while leveraging growing demand from retail investors and digital brokerage platforms. The platform forms part of the firm’s broader expansion plans and will be led by ETF specialist Gareth Myburgh.
