New ETFs from BNP Paribas Easy on Xetra: access to green, social and sustainable bonds

Since Thursday, three new exchange-traded funds issued by BNP Paribas Easy are tradable via Xetra and Börse Frankfurt.

The BNP Paribas Easy JPM ESG Green Social & Sustainability IG EUR Bond UCITS ETF offers access to green, social and sustainable bonds denominated in euro and issued by investment grade issuers from developed and emerging markets. The focus is on green bonds that are in line with the objectives of the Paris Agreement. Issuers with a higher ESG rating are weighted more heavily. Investors can choose between a distribution and an accumulation share class.

The BNP Paribas Easy € Corp Bond SRI Fossil Free UCITS ETF offers investors an investment in fixed income and euro-denominated investment grade corporate bonds from the industrial, utilities and financial services sectors. 

The companies included in the index must have an outstanding volume of at least €500 million and an MSCI ESG rating of BBB or higher based on the best-in-universe approach. Companies engaged in fossil fuel activities are excluded. 

All products exclude companies that violate the UN Global Compact or are involved in serious ESG-related controversies.

The product offering in Deutsche Börse’s XTF segment currently comprises a total of 1,827 ETFs. With this selection and an average monthly trading volume of around €17 billion, Xetra is the leading trading venue for ETFs in Europe.
