State Street Corporation has been chosen as the service provider for the new actively managed UCITS ETFs launched by Dimensional Fund Advisors.
The first listed funds are Global Core Equity UCITS ETF and Targeted Value UCITS ETF. The vehicles are domiciled in Ireland, regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland and listed on the London Stock Exchange and on Xetra in Frankfurt. The launch expands the presence of Dimensional's active ETFs after debuts in Australia and the United States.
“Our global leadership in the ETF sector and our robust operational infrastructure uniquely position us to support this important Dimensional launch.”
Ken Shaw, head of EMEA ETF Product at State Street
Dimensional's new UCITS ETFs
The new range includes two actively managed ETFs focused on global equity strategies: Global Core Equity UCITS ETF and Targeted Value UCITS ETF.
Both are domiciled in Ireland, under the supervision of the Central Bank of Ireland, and are traded on two of the main European exchanges, London and Frankfurt. The European debut follows the expansion path of Dimensional's active ETF platform already started in Australia and the United States.
