New active ETFs from Invesco on Xetra: focus on European government bonds with ESG profile

Since Tuesday, two new exchange-traded funds issued by Invesco have been tradable on Xetra and via Börse Frankfurt.

The Invesco EUR Government and Related Green Transition UCITS ETF is an actively managed fund that invests primarily in euro-denominated government bonds and government-related bonds issued by European issuers from developed countries with an investment grade rating in order to achieve its investment objective. Emerging market issuers are only taken into account if they are domiciled in the eurozone. 

The bonds are selected in compliance with ESG factors and country-specific criteria with regard to labour and international human rights principles. In addition, the fund aims to maximise exposure to green bonds with a minimum of 20 per cent.

Investors can choose between a distributing and an accumulating share class.

The product offering in Deutsche Börse's XTF segment currently comprises a total of 2,050 ETFs. With this selection and an average monthly trading volume of around €19 billion, Xetra is the leading trading venue for ETFs in Europe.
