SIX Swiss Exchange Lists Two New Active Equity ETFs from AllianceBernstein
SIX Swiss Exchange has welcomed the listing of two actively managed equity exchange-traded funds (ETFs) from AllianceBernstein (AB). The new listings mark another step in AB's expansion of its Active UCITS ETF platform in Europe.
The two newly listed ETFs are:
- AB Global Research Advanced Equity Portfolio UCITS ETF
- AB Global Disruptors Portfolio UCITS ETF
These additions follow the launch of three fixed-income UCITS ETFs by AllianceBernstein on the Swiss stock exchange in May.
Expanding Beyond Fixed Income
AllianceBernstein's earlier ETF offerings focused on fixed income exposure. It gives investors access to global, US dollar, and euro corporate bond markets through the firm's systematic investment approach and research capabilities.
The newly listed equity ETFs broaden that offering. They provide access to global equity opportunities through AB's active investment strategy. It combines fundamental analysis, quantitative techniques, and thematic investing.
More Choice for Investors
The latest listings further strengthen SIX Swiss Exchange's ETF marketplace by expanding the range of available equity and fixed income products for both Swiss and international investors. At present, the Swiss stock exchange hosts more than 2,200 ETFs from 37 ETF issuers.

The ETF segment at SIX Swiss Exchange recorded strong growth during the first five months of the year. During this period, on-book trading turnover reached CHF 42.1 million, supported by 1.9 million trades. Compared with the same period last year, trading turnover increased by 43.8%. The number of transactions rose by 40.6%.
Executive Insights
Peter Leffler, Head of Switzerland Retail at AllianceBernstein, said the expanded ETF range reflects the firm's efforts to strengthen its active ETF platform.
