Waystone has announced the launch of the Calamos Autocallable Income UCITS ETF via its white label ETF platform.
The firm says it is the first UCITS autocallable ETF, and the fund brings a weekly laddered autocallable income strategy to investors and wealth managers across Europe and Latin America.
Calamos' laddered autocallable income strategy is based on a MerQube index built to reduce risk with J.P. Morgan serving as swap counterparty.
Like its US counterpart, the Calamos Autocallable Income UCITS ETF will provide intraday liquidity, model portfolio-ready implementation.
The UCITS strategy is based on Calamos’ Autocallable Income ETF (CAIE), launched in June 2025.
Hosted on Waystone’s platform, the ETF is domiciled in Ireland and launches with both accumulating and distributing ETF share classes.
The ETF share classes will initially list on the London Stock Exchange and the Deutsche Börse Xetra, available in USD, EUR and GBP.
Waystone also anticipates offering UCITS mutual fund share classes of the Calamos Autocallable Income strategy in the near future.
Matt Kaufman, head of ETFs, Calamos, remarks: “Savvy investors on the [Continent, in the UK, and increasingly in Latin America, have utilised structured income strategies to derive high yields tied to the equity market rather than credit or duration.
“With the help of Waystone, we are very excited to not only share this award-winning strategy that we’ve developed alongside MerQube — with J.P. Morgan as swap counterparty — via the new Calamos Autocallable Income UCITS ETF, but to establish a whole new category in the common market.”
Paul Heffernan, CEO, Waystone ETFs, adds: “Through our white label ETF platform, we enable firms to bring innovative strategies to market efficiently while expanding into new regions with the right governance, ETF capital markets, operating model and distribution in place.”
