Following the successful launch of its passive ETF fund platform in May 2025, with the first 10 equity funds in the YourIndex SICAV range, Eurizon Capital SGR has gradually expanded its offering to include bond funds, designed to meet investors’ asset allocation needs and strengthen its strong commitment to product innovation.

To date, the platform comprises 33 compartments (16 in equities and 17 in bonds), with more than €19 billion in assets under management as of April 2026. Their strategies cover all geographic regions and all asset classes, with a particular focus on ESG themes. Investors can choose between traditional share classes (institutional) and listed ones (UCITS ETF), benefiting from competitive pricing, a dedicated management team with extensive expertise in index products and a robust capital markets structure.

Eurizon is the only company in Italy to manage all ETF-related activities in an integrated way, from portfolio management to capital markets, thereby ensuring full control and operational efficiency across the management and market-access processes. The company is among the leading European players thanks to its multi-share-class YIS (YourIndex SICAV) platform, highly valued by Italian and international investors for its scale, transparency and efficiency.

In 2025, the European ETF market surpassed $3 trillion in assets under management and recorded $390 billion in inflows, with the launch of 621 new ETFs (versus 317 in 2023), confirming a significant acceleration in product innovation. While passive strategies remain dominant in absolute terms, growth has been largely driven by active strategies: active ETF launches rose from 32 to 167 in two years, lifting their share of total new issues from 10% to 27%.

In response to this evolution in the active ETF market, Eurizon launched the YourActive SICAV platform in March, dedicated to active ETFsThe first ETF is YAS Robotics Active, which actively invests in companies developing innovative products and servicesin the fields of robotics and automation.

“Product innovation is a key success factor in the asset management industry” – said Maria Luisa Gota, CEO and general manager of Eurizon – “For Eurizon, it is strategic to be competitive with both passive and active ETFs, which are increasingly used by institutional and retail clients. ETFs are simple and cost-effective instruments that, when offered to retail clients, must be complemented by advisory services to identify investment solutions suited to their needs. Passive and active ETFs complement traditional funds and can be integrated into diversified portfolios to efficiently create value through targeted asset allocation.”
