Allspring Global Investments Expands Portfolio with New Global Equity Fund

April 27, 2026 – LONDON – Allspring Global Investments™, managing assets upwards of $624 billion, has announced the launch of its new Allspring (Lux) Worldwide Fund – Global Equity Fund. This innovative fund is a UCITS-compliant investment vehicle that adopts a systematic core equity strategy, aiming to generate consistent and repeatable alpha while ensuring disciplined risk management through various market cycles.

Andy Sowerby, Head of Allspring's International Client Group, emphasizes the driving force behind this initiative, stating, "With the growing success of our Global Equity Enhanced Income Fund and the Climate Transition Global Equity Fund, we are excited to respond to our client's demand with the introduction of the Allspring Global Equity Fund."

This fund reflects Allspring's commitment to continual investment in systematic methodologies that blend rigorous quantitative research with fundamental insights. As investors seek reliable sources for potential outperformance in an increasingly complex global landscape, this initiative extends Allspring's global equity platform by offering a risk-controlled core solution designed for positive outcomes across multiple market conditions.

By launching the Global Equity Fund, Allspring expands its systematic equity offerings, complementing existing initiatives such as the previously launched Global Equity Enhanced Income Fund and Climate Transition Global Equity Fund. Both have achieved top-quartile performance since their debut in July 2020 and July 2021, respectively.

The new fund aims to deliver long-term capital growth by utilizing proprietary quantitative models validated through fundamental analysis. It will focus on identifying attractively valued, high-quality companies exhibiting supportive momentum characteristics, targeting positive excess returns over the MSCI All Country World Index. Its portfolio will feature diversification, crafted through a disciplined process that combines active stock selection with a holistic approach to risk management.

John Campbell, CFA, Senior Portfolio Manager of the Global Equity Fund, notes, "Our Global Equity Fund is designed as a true core allocation for global equity portfolios. By focusing on bottom-up alpha while actively managing macroeconomic and fundamental risks, the strategy aims to deliver a smoother excess return profile across different market environments."

The management of this strategy will be overseen by Allspring's Systematic Core Equity Team, which administers about $10.8 billion in assets. Team members possess decades of experience in managing Enhanced-Index and High-Conviction equity strategies.

The Global Equity Fund will be accessible to investors in several countries, including Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. In the coming months, it is expected to reach investors in Switzerland and select Asian nations.
