Source, one of Europe’s leading providers of exchange-traded funds, has announced the launch of the Source Goldman Sachs Equity Factor Index Europe UCITS ETF, the second Source ETF to be launched that provides access to Goldman Sachs’ innovative series of multi-factor “smart beta” indices. Michael John Lytle, Chief Development Officer at Source, said: “Smart beta funds have proven successful in certain markets, providing investors with the potential to generate better returns than the more common market-cap weighted benchmarks, particularly on a risk-adjusted basis.”

Source, a London-based provider of exchange-traded funds and Risk Based Investment Solutions, a recently launched and wholly owned subsidiary of investment bank Rothschild, have announced the launch of the Source R Equal-Risk European Equity UCITS ETF. The fund, the first Rothschild product available using an ETF structure, is linked to the R Risk-Based European Equity Index Net TR. This index aims to provide broad European equity exposure with lower volatility than traditional market-capitalisation-weighted investments.

Source, a leading provider of exchange-traded funds, has announced the launch of the Source Nasdaq Biotech UCITS ETF (SBIO), the first Europe-listed ETF to track the Nasdaq Biotechnology Index. “Source is launching this product in direct response to investor demand,” said Source CEO Ted Hood. “While there are some large, actively managed biotech funds available to Europe investors, passive options are limited. There are several ETFs, including our own, tracking the US Health Care sector, but we see many investors looking for more focused biotech exposure.”

Source, a London-headquartered provider of exchange-traded funds, has announced that 59 of its ETFs have been registered with the Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores (CNMV), Spain’s securities market regulator, making them available for public distribution across the country. The range of ETFs now available to Spanish investors features strategies developed together with Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, Man GLG, Morgan Stanley and Nomura, and includes so-called ‘smart beta’ strategies that provide alternatives to investing on a traditional market capitalisation weighted basis.

Source, a leading European provider of exchange-traded funds, has listed a dedicated Eurozone banks ETF on the London Stock Exchange. The ETF provides exposure to banks within the Eurozone and is optimised to reduce exposure to illiquid stocks. The optimisation process applies various filters including a liquidity factor and a variable individual stock weight cap to produce a more representative and tradable sector benchmark. Michael John Lytle, Chief Development Officer at Source, said: “For investors who want to increase their exposure to Eurozone banks, this ETF provides the opportunity to gain access quickly and efficiently.”

Source, one of Europe’s leading providers of exchange-traded funds, and Ashmore, the specialist emerging markets investment manager, have partnered to launch a pair of ETFs that offer actively managed exposure to emerging market bonds. Michael John Lytle, Chief Development Officer at Source, commented: “Ashmore is one of the very few managers solely dedicated to emerging markets and with a very long and successful track record. Investors will now be able to access their expertise in active management while benefiting from the intra-day trading, liquidity and increased transparency of Source’s ETF structure.”

Source, the European ETF provider which recently confirmed its entry into the US market, has announced the launch of its debut US ETF, the Source Euro Stoxx 50 ETF (ESTX). The ETF, which has been listed on the NYSE Arca, offers highly liquid exposure to the European equity market via the Euro Stoxx 50 Index of large-cap Eurozone stocks. Peter Thompson, Source President, said: “Entering the US is the next step in the growth of our global business. We see a tremendous opportunity to deliver market-driven, value-added products to American investors, and are excited about the opportunity ahead to serve the US market.”

Source, one of Europe’s leading and most innovative exchange-traded fund providers, has crossed the Atlantic and entered the much-larger US ETF market. The firm’s US launch is spearheaded by a management team of ETF veterans led by co-founders Ted Hood, CEO and Peter Thompson, President. They are joined by Executive Chairman Lee Kranefuss, an ETF pioneer and the architect of iShares, and Senior Advisor Richard Goldman, formerly CEO of Rydex and COO of Guggenheim Investments.

Source, one of Europe’s leading providers of exchange-traded products, has cross-listed four ETFs on Deutsche Börse, lifting the provider’s presence on the German exchange to 53 products. The four ETFs include two equity strategies developed in partnership with Man GLG, and a pair of US energy infrastructure ETFs. MJ Lytle, Chief Development Officer at Source, said: “As European investors have become more familiar with ETFs in recent years, we have witnessed an increase in interest. They are now looking to ETFs to fulfil a greater number of needs in their portfolios, including niche investments where ETFs are often the first to market.”

Source, a leading European provider of exchange-traded funds, has launched its third volatility ETF in collaboration with investment bank JP Morgan.

The fund switches from long to long/short US equity exposure depending on market conditions. During times of market stress, it adds long exposure to European equity volatility.
