Today, SIX welcomes HANSAINVEST as issuer of Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) at SIX Swiss Exchange with the listing of the BIT Global Technology Leaders UCITS ETF.

The actively managed ETF complies with the EU-directive UCIT and provides investors with access to a global, benchmark-agnostic portfolio of leading technology and AI infrastructure companies. These companies have the potential to benefit significantly from the increasing adoption of artificial intelligence and structural technological change.

The newly listed BIT Global Technology Leaders UCITS ETF invests in stocks from developed and emerging markets worldwide. The strategy of the fund initiator BIT Capital focuses on leading technology companies and AI infrastructure stocks, filtered according to ESG criteria covering environmental, social, and corporate governance factors.

The BIT Global Technology Leaders UCITS ETF makes the BIT Global Technology Leaders strategy available for the first time in the form of an active ETF. This concept has been proven since 2019. Investors gain access to the same global, concentrated portfolio of technology and AI infrastructure stocks, based on the same investment process and fund management.

With this launch, HANSAINVEST becomes the 39th ETF issuer at SIX Swiss Exchange, further strengthening the breadth of its ETF segment and supporting investor access to innovative active ETF strategies from one of Switzerland’s leading asset managers.

Dr. Jörg W. Stotz, Spokesman of the Management Board at HANSAINVEST, comments:

“With the listing of the BIT Global Technology Leaders UCITS ETF at SIX Swiss Exchange, we are making the proven global technology strategy of our partner BIT Capital available to investors in an efficient exchange-traded format. The active ETF provides access to leading technology and AI infrastructure companies worldwide and is designed to capture opportunities arising from the increasing adoption of artificial intelligence and structural technological change.”

Danielle Reischuk, Senior ETFs & ETPs Sales Manager, SIX Swiss Exchange, adds:

“We are pleased to welcome the BIT Global Technology Leaders UCITS ETF to SIX Swiss Exchange. The listing further broadens the choice available to investors in Switzerland and underlines the continued relevance of active ETF strategies in areas shaped by long-term technological innovation.
