Schroder Global Equity Active UCITS ETF

ETF description

This ETF is an actively managed fund investing in companies across global developed and emerging markets. It provides access to Schroders' long‑running QEP Global Core strategy, which combines fundamental insights with systematic portfolio construction across a very broad universe of stocks. The fund aims to deliver consistent outperformance of the global equity market over time, while keeping risk relative to the broader market at a modest level.

This ETF might appeal to investors who want global equity exposure as a core holding but would like the potential for returns above the index, accessed through the convenience and competitive pricing of an ETF wrapper. Because the strategy is broadly diversified and benchmark‑aware, its behaviour should remain similar to the global stock market, with active stock selection seeking to add incremental returns.

Index details

Its performance can be compared against the MSCI All Country World Index, a free float‑adjusted market capitalisation weighted index designed to measure the equity market performance of developed and emerging markets, covering large and mid‑cap companies across c.49 countries.
