iM Global Partner Makes Its Mark in the European UCITS ETF Market

In a significant move within the financial landscape, iM Global Partner (iMGP) has announced the launch of its first active UCITS ETF tailored for the European market. The iMGP DBi Managed Futures Fund R USD ETF marks a milestone as it is touted to be the only managed futures UCITS ETF presently available in Europe. The ETF is listed on Euronext Paris and will soon be available on the London Stock Exchange in a range of currencies.

The introduction of this ETF represents an opportunity for European investors, granting access to a well-established investment strategy originally employed by the largest Managed Futures ETF globally—the iMGP DBi Managed Futures Strategy ETF, which is already a popular choice in the United States, traded under the ticker DBMFUS. The European variant will be traded with the ticker DBMFFP.

This innovative investment vehicle is designed to emulate the pre-expense performance of a select basket of top-tier managed futures funds, drawing interest from a diverse spectrum of investors. The launch not only adds to iMGP's existing offerings but also enables clients to engage with the managed futures asset class through their preferred investment wrappers.

The European active UCITS ETF market has witnessed substantial growth over recent years, with these products being viewed as the next-gen solutions for portfolio construction. With a robust pipeline, iM Global Partner plans to introduce additional active UCITS ETFs in the forthcoming months, leveraging their rich experience in the U.S. active ETF market which comprises a diverse range of partner products across various asset classes.

Philippe Couvrecelle, founder and CEO of iMGP, remarked, “We are thrilled to bring this opportunity to European investors after years of success in the active ETF market in the United States. Our ability to capitalize on market opportunities showcases our commitment to offering cutting-edge, innovative products to clients regardless of their location.”

Andrew Beer, co-founder of DBi, expressed pride in collaborating with iMGP to introduce the DBMFFP in Europe, stating, “Managed Futures ETFs have gained significant traction in the United States, and this launch exemplifies the success of our model. Managed Futures represent one of the few alternative strategies that provide undeniable diversification benefits.”

This strategic entry into the European UCITS ETF market is expected to reshape the investment landscape, providing investors with more diversified options while streamlining access to sophisticated investment strategies. As the demand for alternative investment avenues continues to rise, iMGP is well-poised to meet the evolving needs of its clients and contribute further to the growth of the European ETF market.

For investors looking to diversify their portfolio with innovative solutions, the iMGP DBi Managed Futures Fund R USD ETF represents a compelling choice, integrating advanced investment strategies through a seamless investment format.

As iM Global Partner continues to expand its ETF offerings, market participants will be eagerly observing the impact of its strategies and products on investment trends and portfolio management practices in the active UCITS ETF market across Europe.
