iM Global Partner Enters the Active UCITS ETF Market in Europe

In a significant move for the investment landscape, iM Global Partner (iMGP) has announced its entrance into the European Active UCITS ETF market. This launch includes the introduction of the iMGP DBi Managed Futures Fund R USD ETF, the first of its kind available in Europe. The ETF has been launched on the Euronext stock exchange in Paris and is planned to be listed on the London Stock Exchange shortly.

Overview of the New ETF

The newly introduced ETF will replicate the performance of the largest Managed Futures ETF available in the US market, the iMGP DBi Managed Futures Strategy ETF. Managed by DBi, experts in hedge fund replication, this innovative strategy aims to reflect the pre-fee returns of a carefully selected basket of premier managed futures hedge funds.

The iMGP DBi Managed Futures Fund R USD ETF will carry the Bloomberg ticker DBMFFP for its European share class, while the US counterpart trades under DBMFUS. With this launch, iMGP expands its product offerings and provides clients with diverse options to access the managed futures arena through their preferred investment vehicle.

Additionally, Andrew Beer, Co-Founder of DBi, emphasized the growing importance of Managed Futures ETFs in the U.S. market. He commented, "We are proud to partner with iMGP to launch DBMFFP in Europe. This launch underscores the success of our model. Managed futures represent one of the few alternative strategies that offer indisputable diversification benefits to investors."

With established experience in actively managed ETFs through its operations in the United States, iM Global Partner's venture into the European market marks a significant milestone. The continued exploration of innovative financial products, gated by their commitment to quality and performance, will likely keep iMGP at the forefront of the ETF space.
