Schroders launches Europe Equity Active UCITS ETF and Japan Equity Active UCITS ETF on XETRA; AUM at $3.7B in under a year.

Schroders continues to expand active ETF range with Europe and Japan Equity launches

Schroders today announces the launch of two new active exchange traded funds (ETFs), further expanding the geographic solutions in its growing suite of products to meet client demand.

The Schroder Europe Equity Active UCITS ETF and Schroder Japan Equity Active UCITS ETF will provide investors with access to actively managed regional equity strategies focused on identifying companies with attractive Value and Quality characteristics in Europe and Japan respectively.

The launches build on the continued expansion of Schroders’ active ETF offering, following the listing of its first two UCITS active ETFs in September 2025 and the additions of a Custom Global Equity ETF and US Equity ETF in the first half of 2026. Schroders’ UCITS ETF franchise now stands at $3.7 billion in assets under management (AUM) in less than a year since launch [1] , highlighting the strong momentum generated so far.

The Europe and Japan Equity ETFs share a consistent underlying investment philosophy and process with existing Schroders’ Equity ETFs and are similar to the Schroder QEP Global Core strategy, all managed by the Schroders Quantitative Equity Products (QEP) investment team. The Global Core strategy has established a compelling performance track record since its launch more than 25 years ago and has outperformed its benchmark in 21 out of 26 calendar years since launch [2] .

The ETFs will see their first listings on the XETRA Deutsche Borse today, followed by further listings on the London Stock Exchange, Borsa Italiana and SIX Swiss Exchange.

Tom Stephens, Head of ETFs at Schroders, said:

“The launch of our Europe and Japan Equity Active UCITS ETFs marks another important step in the expansion of our active ETF platform, that we continue to grow to meet strong client demand.

“These ETFs will provide clients with greater choice in how they access Schroders’ active investment expertise by broadening our highly diversified regional equity offering. They also offer solutions with limited index relative risk, alongside the potential for incremental alpha generation across market environments.”

The Schroder Europe Equity Active UCITS ETF is benchmarked against the MSCI Europe (Net TR) Index and the Schroder Japan Equity Active UCITS ETF against the MSCI Japan (Net TR) Index
