State Street has been appointed as the service provider to Dimensional Fund Advisors’ newly launched actively-managed undertaking for collective investment in transferable securities (UCITS) exchange traded funds (ETFs).
The initial funds listed are the Global Core Equity UCITS ETF and the targeted value UCITS ETF.
The funds are domiciled in Ireland, regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland, and listed in London and Frankfurt.
This expands Dimensional’s active ETF suite, after successful launches in Australia and the United States.
State Street provides end-to-end service support, including custody, depositary, fund accounting, ETF basket creation, create/redeem order management, ETF settlement, transfer agency, and reporting.
Ken Shaw, head of EMEA ETF product at State Street, notes: "We’re pleased to support Dimensional Fund Advisors as they implement their actively managed ETFs in the European market.
“Our global leadership with ETFs and our robust operational infrastructure uniquely position us to support Dimensional’s important launch.”
Andreas Constantoulakis, head of ETF Capital Markets, EMEA, at Dimensional Fund Advisors, remarks: “ETFs are growing in popularity around the world given their compatibility with financial technology and ease of access.
“A growing number of financial professionals in Europe want the choice to use Dimensional ETFs in addition to existing UCITS funds and separate accounts. State Street’s experience, technology and ETF servicing expertise have been instrumental in preparing for this launch, and we look forward to working with them as our ETF lineup expands.”
