New ETF horizons
By combining our robust infrastructure, unique structuring & portfolio management capabilities and liquidity monitoring expertise with BNP Paribas Global Markets’ quantitative investment-strategy expertise, proprietary modelling and deep market-structure knowledge, we can offer investors access to the next generation of actively managed ETFs.
- Both BNP Paribas Easy Global Equity Long Short and BNP Paribas Easy Managed Futures pursue an “absolute return” investment style, focusing on generating diversified returns that are largely independent of the direction of traditional equity markets.
- BNP Paribas Easy Equity Premium Income and BNP Paribas Easy European Equity Buffer, on the other hand, adopt an “income-oriented” investment approach, delivering a defined outcome, or income-centric, returns.
Although they pursue distinct investment styles, this new suite of four actively managed ETFs empowers investors to build more efficient, long-term portfolios with enhanced diversification characteristics, improved risk-adjusted performance, and tighter drawdown control. To learn more about our suite of next generation ETFs, visit our respective fund centre in Denmark, Finland or Sweden.
“This launch reflects the Group’s ability to pool its expertise and deliver scalable solutions that respond to evolving investor needs.”

Featured solutions
Our new suite of actively managed ETFs¹ is engineered to go beyond the traditional market exposure, offering investors enhanced risk-adjusted performance and improved diversification, while boosting portfolio resilience across market cycles.
Absolute return strategies
Generating returns largely independent of the direction of traditional equity markets
- BNP Paribas Easy Global Equity Long Short ETF
A first‑to‑market², we believe this actively managed long‑short equity ETF offers investors a simple way to capture upside, while limiting downside risks. Benefiting from an exclusive partnership with MSCI Barra, the strategy is built on a proprietary, multi factor‑based framework. - BNP Paribas Easy Managed Futures ETF
The ETF provides easy access to a commodity trading advisor‑style, trend‑following allocation. The strategy aims to increase the value of its assets over the medium term, with moderate volatility. It does so by replicating the industry‑wide approach to managed futures, while seeking to strip out potential manager‑selection risk.

Income-oriented strategies
Delivering defined outcome or income-centric returns
- BNP Paribas Easy Equity Premium Income ETF
A systematic, options‑based income ETF that harvests short‑term premium from major regional equity indices³. By focusing on the immediate timeframe prior to the expiry of a financial contract (which can range between one and a few business days), the strategy seeks to capture option decay while maintaining a low correlation to the equity market. - BNP Paribas Easy European Equity Buffer ETF
The first defined‑outcome ETF focused on European equities⁴, it seeks to provide a long exposure to the Euro Stoxx 50 index⁵. Designed with the aim to protect capital while offering upside potential⁶, the ETF blends a classic buffer structure with a novel ‘reversal‑risk reduction’ feature.

Investments are subject to market fluctuations and the risks inherent in investments in securities. The value of investments and the income they generate may go down as well as up and it is possible that investors will not recover their initial investment. There is no guarantee that the performance objective will be achieved.
Equity strategies may be exposed to other risks defined below:
MARKET RISK: This is a general risk that affects all investments. Price for financial instruments are mainly determined by the financial markets and by the economic development of the issuers, who are themselves affected by the overall situation of the global economy and by the economic and political conditions prevailing in each relevant country
EQUITY RISK: The risks associated with investments in equity (and similar instruments) include significant fluctuations in prices, negative information about the issuer or market and the subordination of a company’s shares to its bonds. Moreover, these fluctuations are often amplified in the short term. the risk that one or more companies suffer a downturn or fail to grow can have a negative impact on the performance of the overall portfolio at a given time. There is no guarantee that investors will see an appreciation in value. The value of investments and the income they generate may go down as well as up and it is possible that investors will not recover their initial investment.
INTEREST RATE RISK: The value of an investment may be affected by interest rate fluctuations. Interest rates may be influenced by several elements or events, such as monetary policy, the discount rate, inflation, etc.
CREDIT RISK: This is the risk that may derive from the rating downgrade of a bond issuer to which the strategies are exposed, which may therefore cause the value of the investments to go down. Strategies investing in high-yield bonds present a higher than average risk due to the greater fluctuation of their currency or the quality of the issuer.
LIQUIDITY RISK: This risk arises from the difficulty of selling an asset at a fair market price and at a desired time due to a lack of buyers.
COUNTERPARTY RISK: This risk is associated with the ability of a counterparty in a financial transaction to fulfil its commitments like payment, delivery and reimbursement.
OPERATIONAL AND CUSTODY RISK: Some markets are less regulated than most of the international markets; hence, the services related to custody and liquidation for the strategy in such markets could be more risky.
DERIVATIVES RISK: When investing in over-the-counter or listed derivatives, the fund aims to hedge and/or to leverage the yield of its position. The attention of the investor is drawn to the fact that leverage increases the volatility of the strategy.
CAPITAL RISK: The investments in the funds are subject to market fluctuations and the risks inherent in investments in securities. The value of investments and the income they generate may go down as well as up and it is possible that investors will not recover their initial outlay, the funds described being at risk of capital loss.
ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE (ESG) INVESTMENT RISK: The lack of common or harmonized definitions and labels integrating ESG and sustainability criteria at EU level may result in different approaches by managers when setting ESG objectives. This also means that it may be difficult to compare strategies integrating ESG and sustainability criteria to the extent that the selection and weightings applied to select investments may be based on metrics that may share the same name but have different underlying meanings. In evaluating a security based on the ESG and sustainability criteria, the Investment Manager may also use data sources provided by external ESG research providers. Given the evolving nature of ESG, these data sources may for the time being be incomplete, inaccurate or unavailable. Applying responsible business conduct standards in the investment process may lead to the exclusion of securities of certain issuers. Consequently, the strategy’s performance may at times be better or worse than the performance of relatable funds that do not apply such standards.
This is not an exhaustive list of risks. For a full description of risks associated with each fund, please consult a client relationship manager or the global BNP Paribas Asset Management website: www.bnpparibas-am.com.
Investing in emerging markets, or specialised or restricted sectors is likely to be subject to a higher-than-average volatility due to a high degree of concentration, greater uncertainty because less information is available, there is less liquidity or due to greater sensitivity to changes in market conditions (social, political and economic conditions).
