ODDO BHF Asset Management announces the launch of its first range of active ETFs, marking a strategic evolution in the firm’s product offering and reinforcing its commitment to innovation, flexibility, and client-centric solutions. These ETFs have been launched in partnership with HANetf, Europe’s leading white-label ETF platform.

This new step responds to clients’ evolving expectations around flexibility, transparency, and ease of access, all without compromising the high-conviction investment approach that defines ODDO BHF AM. “It comes as a natural complement to our current product offering”, says Nicolas Chaput, Global CEO, ODDO BHF AM.

The European market for active ETFs is growing rapidly. Assets under management have more than doubled in the past year and are forecast1 to exceed €1trillion by 2030, up from €60bn today. This shift reflects the growing demand among investors for these types of wrappers, which offer flexibility, transparency, real-time pricing, and cost efficiency but with the outperformance potential of active management, albeit with a risk of capital loss. For ODDO BHF AM, this is an opportunity to offer its established investment expertise to a broader set of investors and additional distribution channels (such as digital platforms), which are increasingly “ETF-focused”.

ODDO BHF AM’s new active ETF range will leverage on well-established strategies from its traditional fund range and on its 30 years of experience in asset allocation and ETF selection through innovative global flexible strategies. These strategies have been selected for their strong track records, high liquidity and scalability (no subscription limits) – key attributes for the effective functioning of ETFs.

“We’re not entering the ETF market with passive replication,” adds Nicolas Chaput. “We’re extending our core DNA — high-conviction, actively managed strategies — into a format that aligns with how clients invest today. With our global flexible strategies, we give investors exposure to all markets, asset classes, geographies, sectors, styles and market capitalizations through active and thorough ETF selection. With this new format, we are offering an innovative and complementary addition to our existing actively managed fund range.”

The range currently comprises three active ETFs:

ODDO BHF Global Equity Active UCITS ETF: a global diversified equity strategy that dynamically adjusts its exposure across regions, styles, and sectors to seek out the best opportunities and leading trends on global equity markets. 

ODDO BHF US Equity Active UCITS ETF: providing cost-effective access to US equities backed by over 20 years of experience, a robust long-term track record, and controlled volatility.

ODDO BHF Global Balanced Allocation Active UCITS ETF: offering access to a diversified global portfolio with a dynamic allocation across all asset classes (equities, bonds, currencies and commodities) through rigorous, bias-free selection of ETFs and ETCs.

To ensure a high-quality operational set up and liquidity management, ODDO BHF AM, acting as investment manager by delegation, has partnered with HANetf – the management company -, Europe’s first and leading white-label ETF provider. HANetf brings extensive experience in capital markets and ETF distribution. “We are delighted to partner with ODDO BHF AM to bring their investment expertise into the ETF wrapper. This collaboration highlights HANetf’s ability to enable top European asset managers to launch high-quality ETFs quickly and efficiently. It also reflects the rapid growth of the active ETF market in Europe — one of the most exciting and fast-evolving segments in the industry. Investors are increasingly recognising that ETFs are simply a wrapper, capable of housing a wide range of strategies”, comments Hector McNeil, co-Founder and co-CEO of HANetf.
