Assets in low-cost Prime ETF range pass €500m, Amundi adds new US corporate bonds ETF
London, UK, September 24, 2019
London – 24 September 2019 – Following the success of Amundi’s Prime ETF range, launched in March and which already attracted over €500m[1] in assets under management, Amundi announces a new addition to the range: Amundi Prime US Corporates – Ucits ETF DR, with an ongoing charge of 0.05%[2].
Fannie Wurtz, Head of Amundi ETF, Indexing and Smart Beta, said: “Investors’ search for yield means corporate bonds have been the most popular part of Europe’s ETF market this year. We already offered Euro Corporate bonds at 0.05%, but now our clients also demand ultra-low cost US credit exposure. That is why we created a Prime US Corporates ETF, Europe’s lowest cost US Corporate bond ETF[3], to ensure we could better serve our investors.”
Amundi’s Prime ETF range aims to offer investors exposure to the key building blocks of a diversified portfolio at the lowest possible cost. The 10 ETFs in Amundi’s Prime range cover fixed income and equity markets in Europe, USA, Japan and the world. They all have the same ongoing charge of 0.05%, use physical replication and track indices from Solactive[4], a well-established and cost-efficient index provider. Additionally, as with all Amundi ETFs, the Prime range excludes controversial weapon providers.
Prime US Corporates – Ucits ETF DR was listed today on Xetra – the German stock exchange - and will soon be listed on LSE and Borsa Italiana.
