London Stock Exchange welcomes Pictet Asset Management as it launches its first European active ETFs

Today, Pictet Asset Management marks a significant milestone at the London Stock Exchange with the celebration of the listing of its first European active ETF range: five AI-Enhanced Index Equity Active ETFs.

Part of the 200-year-old Pictet Group, Pictet Asset Management brings together heritage and innovation in a way few firms can. With GBP 267bn [Note 1] in assets under management across equities, fixed income, alternatives and multi-asset strategies, it has built its reputation on disciplined investing, forward-thinking innovation and a deep understanding of clients’ evolving needs.

This new range brings that philosophy to the ETF market. It combines the transparency, liquidity and convenience of ETFs with a sophisticated AI-driven investment process designed to uncover stock-specific opportunities that traditional approaches can miss.

Designed for investors seeking enhanced core equity solutions, the ETFs aim to generate consistent, factor-neutral alpha while remaining closely aligned with their respective benchmarks. At the heart of the investment process is Pictet Asset Management’s proprietary machine-learned model, which seeks to identify complex stock-specific patterns and relationships that traditional quantitative approaches can struggle to detect.

“These AI Enhanced ETFs can play a practical role in portfolio construction. They can be used as core equity holdings, as an alternative to traditional passive allocations, or alongside index exposures for investors seeking a cost-efficient source of incremental excess returns with controlled risk.”

Since launch in July 2026, the strategies have attracted more than GBP 700m [Note 2] , highlighting strong investor demand for this new approach to active investing.
