Euroclear has announced that Lunate has launched its Irish-domiciled ETFs on Euroclear’s funds platform.
The post-trade service provider says the Abu Dhabi-based global investment management firm is the first in the Middle East region to issue an undertakings for collective investment in transferable securities (UCITS) ETF under the International Central Securities Depository (ICSD) model, using Euroclear’s infrastructure and global distribution network.
By launching its funds on a platform for International Exchange Traded Funds (iETFs), Lunate will be able to use an efficient distribution network within Europe, gaining access to major markets in Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East.
Lunate’s Boreas thematic ETFs range is designed to provide diversified exposure to long-term, structural themes expected to drive future economic value.
The growing Boreas range currently includes three ETFs, offered across multiple listing venues and trading currencies.
The two ETFs issued in Euroclear Bank are Boreas S&P AI Data, Power and Infrastructure UCITS ETF and Boreas S&P Absolute Luxury UCITS ETF.
Both funds are listed on the Frankfurter Stock Exchange (Xetra) and the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX).
Mohamed M’Rabti, global head of sales of asset managers and ETF, Euroclear, notes: “We are delighted to welcome Lunate as the first Middle Eastern ETF issuer on our iETF platform. Lunate’s decision to adopt the ICSD model reflects the growing demand for efficient, liquid, and globally scalable ETF structures.
