Aberdeen
Investment manager has launched the Global Infrastructure Equity Fund in its SICAV I umbrella. It mirrors the US-domiciled abrdn Global Infrastructure mutual fund, which has been managed for around 17 years and by fund manager Josh Duitz, who will also lead the new strategy.

The fund aims to achieve a combination of growth and income by investing in infrastructure-related companies, which adhere to the abrdn Global Infrastructure Promoting ESG Equity Investment approach.

The fund, which will have an annual management charge of 0.75 per cent for the main share class, will be registered for distribution in several European countries including Luxembourg, Switzerland, Germany, Spain, France and Portugal.

Aberdeen manages and administers £517.6 billion ($695 billion) worth of assets for clients. 

HSBC Asset Management
has expanded its exchange-traded fund (ETF) offering in Europe with its new Fundamental Equity ETF range. Two new products have been launched in the range: the Fidelity US Fundamental Large Cap Core UCITS ETF and Fidelity US Fundamental Small-Mid Cap UCITS ETF.

The ETFs, which are sub-advised by Fidelity Investments (a separate US-based company) are now available to clients of Fidelity International through its Irish UCITS ETF range, the firm said in a statement.

The Fidelity US Fundamental Small-Mid Cap UCITS ETF is an Irish-domiciled UCITS ETF in Europe. The structure is designed to allow ETF providers to meet client demand for ETFs that incorporate high value research by also allowing them to protect their active research intellectual property. The ETF, which seeks long-term growth, invests in securities with small to medium market capitalisations.
