Schroder Global Investment Grade Corporate Bond Active UCITS ETF

ETF description

This ETF is an actively managed bond fund investing in investment grade corporate bonds from issuers around the world. The strategy combines fundamental credit research with systematic tools to select bonds, and is a pure investment grade approach — it does not hold high yield bonds or other off‑benchmark securities. The fund aims to outperform the global investment grade corporate bond market while maintaining a low level of risk relative to its benchmark.

This ETF might appeal to investors looking for diversified exposure to higher‑quality corporate debt, whether to generate income, reduce overall portfolio volatility, or balance equity holdings. As with all bond funds, its value will be sensitive to changes in interest rates and the creditworthiness of the companies whose bonds it holds.

Issuer details

Schroders is a British multinational asset manager founded in 1804, headquartered in London and listed on the FTSE 100, with over GBP 700 billion in assets under management. Schroders is one of the world’s leading active investment managers, with expertise spanning equities, fixed income, multi‑asset and alternatives. The firm launched its first active ETFs in Australia in 2016 and brought its active ETF range to Europe in 2025, making flagship institutional strategies — including its $24 billion QEP Global Core equity strategy — available in a UCITS ETF format.

Index details

The fund does not track an index; it targets returns above the global investment grade corporate bond market. Its performance can be compared against the Bloomberg Global Aggregate Corporate Index, which measures the performance of investment grade, fixed‑rate corporate bonds issued in major currencies by companies across developed and emerging markets.
