AllianzGI to enter Active ETF market In Europe

  • Follows successful launch in Taiwan in 2025

27.04.2026 | Allianz Global Investors (AllianzGI), one of the world’s leading active asset managers, today announced it intends to launch its first active exchange-traded funds (ETF) for investors in Europe later this year. Following the successful launch of its first Active ETFs in Taiwan in 2025, AllianzGI will begin offering this new type of investment vehicle to clients in a number of European markets in the second half of 2026. The launch underscores AllianzGI’s commitment to client-focused product innovation, with Active ETFs catering to the evolving needs of investors who want to combine the benefits of active management with the transparency and liquidity that ETFs offer.

Tobias Pross

Tobias Pross, CEO at AllianzGI, comments: “The value of active management has never been more apparent. It’s not just about identifying tomorrow’s winners – it’s about navigating risk, managing volatility, and responding to market shifts in real time. As we expand into Active ETFs in Europe, building on the experience we have gained in Asia, we will remain as focused as ever on delivering long-term performance, risk discipline, and tailored solutions for our clients.”

Active ETFs have become a growth engine for liquid public markets in Europe. In the region, Active ETF AUM is expected to continue to reach €165 billion by 2029, driven by a 25% CAGR significant when compared to a 10.2% growth rate expected for total AUM across the industry for the European market.

Alexandra Auer

Alexandra Auer, Head of Distribution at EMEA AllianzGI, comments: “Entering the Active ETF market is a natural fit with our driving purpose of serving the diverse needs of our clients - as their needs evolve, we evolve in-step. We know that Active ETFs have become increasingly attractive to parts of our client base, as they offer access to the benefits of active investing, combined with on-exchange intra-day pricing and transparency.”

Investing involves risk. The value of an investment and the income from it may fall as well as rise and investors might not get back the full amount invested. Investing in fixed income instruments may expose investors to various risks, including but not limited to creditworthiness, interest rate, liquidity and restricted flexibility risks. Changes to the economic environment and market conditions may affect these risks, resulting in an adverse effect to the value of the investment. During periods of rising nominal interest rates, the values of fixed income instruments (including positions with respect to short-term fixed income instruments) are generally expected to decline. Conversely, during periods of declining interest rates, the values of these instruments are generally expected to rise. Liquidity risk may possibly delay or prevent account withdrawals or redemptions. The volatility of fund unit/share prices may be increased or even strongly increased. Past performance does not predict future returns. If the currency in which the past performance is displayed differs from the currency of the country in which the investor resides, then the investor should be aware that due to the exchange rate fluctuations the performance shown may be higher or lower if converted into the investor’s local currency.
