JPMorgan Asset Management has extended its active fixed-income suite with the launch of a global government bond ETF—the JPM Global Government Bond Active UCITS ETF (JGOV).
JGOV is listed on London Stock Exchange (LSE), Deutsche Börse, Borsa Italiana and SIX Swiss Exchange with a total expense ratio of 0.23%.
JGOV is benchmarked against the Bloomberg Global Aggregate Treasuries Index and captures global government and government-guaranteed bonds alongside high-quality sovereign and agency debt.
JGOV will be managed by International Chief Investment Officer for Global Fixed Income Iain Stealey, Head of Global Rates Seamus Mac Gorain and Fixed Income Portfolio Manager Kim Crawford.
The portfolio managers will also be supported by a global research team.
The ETF uses a research-driven investment process that focuses on analyzing fundamental, quantitative and technical factors across countries, sectors and issuers, according to the product page.
Travis Spence, global head of ETFs at JPMorgan Asset Management, said, “We are continuing to launch active ETFs across a range of fixed income sectors, now including global government bonds, where active management matters and where we believe we have an edge, based on our well-established investment processes.”
JPMAM also recently launched a global investment-grade corporate bond active ETF as the active giant continue to accelerate its active fixed-income launches across Europe.
The JPM Global IG Corporate Bond Active UCITS ETF (JIGG) debuted on the London Stock Exchange, Deutsche Borse, Borsa Italiana and SIX Swiss Exchange with a total expense ratio of 0.25%.
Actively managed, JIGG captures investment-grade corporate bonds across global markets.
The basket is built using a combination of fundamental, quantitative and technical analysis and benchmarked against the Bloomberg global aggregate corporate index.
The strategy focuses on credit sector rotation and security selection with an environmental, social and governance (ESG) screen.
