Robeco has launched a quartet of actively-managed UCITS ETFs.
The funds are listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, with additional listings including in London expected in the coming months.
Three of the funds are part of Robeco’s ‘3D’ range, with a vehicle launched for global, US, and European equities.
The 3D range aims to strike a balance between risk, return, and sustainability based on pre-set targets and real-time market conditions.

The firm has also listed the Robeco Dynamic Theme Machine UCITS ETF, which aims to use quantitative research to identify emerging investment themes early.
Karin van Baardwijk, CEO at Robeco, said: “Today’s launch marks a pivotal moment for Robeco as we expand our active management expertise into the ETF space. It reflects our strategic commitment to delivering innovative investment solutions that meet the diverse needs of our clients.
“Our new active ETFs are designed to provide optimised outcomes by combining the structural benefits of ETFs with the added value of active management and sustainability.”
Nick King, head of ETF at Robeco, added: “The 3D ETFs leverage [Robeco’s] expertise to balance performance potential, risk management and sustainability considerations to create compelling building blocks offering an alternative to passive products.
“The Dynamic Theme Machine ETF is all about being ahead of the curve – using data and AI to spot new themes early and rotating over time, adapting to market changes and capturing growth across a range of evolving sectors.”
