At Columbia Threadneedle Investments we want to provide innovative products and solutions to meet our clients’ evolving needs.

With this in mind, we are excited to announce that we are expanding our Active ETF capabilities into Europe. This move builds on the success of our US ETF business, which currently manages $5.5bn1 across 14 ETFs.

Our new Active ETF range will seek to combine our long experience in the US managing ETFs through systematic strategies with our extensive fundamental research capabilities.

We will initially launch four core equity ETFs designed to offer real outperformance potential. Our ambition is to then further expand our capability to include fixed income Active ETFs soon.

The next evolution in portfolio construction

For years, ETFs have been synonymous with passive investing, but the narrative is shifting. Active ETFs are no longer a niche innovation; they’re a structural evolution in how portfolios are built, managed and optimised for performance. We believe Active ETFs offer a compelling solution for cost-sensitive clients who still demand potential for outperformance, blending the best of active management with the efficiency of the ETF wrapper.

At Columbia Threadneedle Investments, we’re proud to be part of this evolution. The CT QR Series Active ETFs offer core equity portfolios that bring a proven alpha-generating approach from our US business to European investors seeking transparent, cost-efficient and truly active solutions.

Built with purpose and conviction, the CT QR Series deviates from the benchmarks with the aim of delivering long-term outperformance at an attractive price point. It’s Quant Redefined.
