HANetf is an independent ETF provider founded by two of Europe’s leading ETF pioneers, Hector McNeil and Nik Bienkowski, to challenge conventional approaches to ETF product development and create distinctive opportunities for investors.  

HANetf’s unique UCITS ETF range is the result of close collaboration with leading asset managers that leveraged HANetf’s full-service white-label ETF platform to simplify the set-up, launch and distribution of their investment ideas.

Catastrophe bonds allow insurers to transfer defined natural disaster risks to capital markets.
Because these risks are event-driven rather than market-driven, cat bonds have characteristics that differ from traditional fixed income exposures.

In this webinar, Rick Pagnani, CEO of King Ridge Capital, will explain how the market works and what investors may want to understand when assessing this asset class, including how it can be accessed in an ETF structure.

The webinar will answer questions such as:
• How do catastrophe bonds transfer risk, and what actually drives their returns?
• Why are their characteristics different from mainstream fixed income markets?
• What role can event-linked assets play within diversified portfolios?
• How do managers analyse and monitor catastrophe risk?
• What should investors understand about accessing this market through an ETF?

Gold’s record run and the rise of responsible ownership
 
Gold has surged past $4,000 an ounce, continuing to break new highs and outperforming equities this year. From continued central bank buying to the global “debasement trade”, demand for the yellow metal has rarely looked stronger.
 
Yet as investors return to gold, a new question emerges: how can it be accessed responsibly?
 
We’ll be joined by The Royal Mint, the official maker of British coins, to discuss how responsibly sourced and recycled physical gold, within an ETC wrapper, can serve as a sustainable store of value.
 
Join our webinar to learn more about responsible sourcing, recycled gold, secure custody, and the latest developments driving gold’s remarkable performance.

In our experience, most fixed income managers focus on 3 things when selecting bonds – interest rate predictions, duration, and yield.
PT Asset Management (PTAM) looks beyond these traditional metrics, aiming to curate a portfolio that looks different from its peers.
 
Join us as we dive into PTAM’s differentiated investment methodology, how it leads to different results, and how the team’s portfolio management style can fill a void in the European fixed income market.
 
In this webinar, we’ll answer:
- Who is PTAM?
- How does PTAM’s maths-based investment process, Shape Management, differ from traditional fixed income approaches?
- What kind of opportunities does Shape Management uncover?
- How do yields in the U.S. compare to Europe?
- How does PTAM aim to provide portfolio diversification and an interest rate hedge that traditional European fixed income portfolios may lack?

Rheinmetall has become a symbol of Europe’s rearmament drive, posting record order backlogs and becoming a favourite among investors looking for defence exposure.

Join HANetf and Rheinmetall for deep dive on bottlenecks in defence procurement, and what scaling up for the new defence challenges of Europe actually looks like.

How to enter the global ETF market - 40 Act and UCITS

For decades, the European geopolitical landscape had been relatively peaceful until Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. This conflict, alongside the broader backdrop of geopolitical instability, has forced Europe to focus on rebuilding their defence capabilities. As a result, European NATO members are investing in new defence equipment at levels not seen since the end of the Cold War.
 
In our upcoming webinar, we will conduct an exclusive interview with Rheinmetall, Europe’s fastest growing defence stock and a global leader in military vehicles manufacturing and ammunition.
 
We will discuss the following topics:
• Overview of Rheinmetall’s key business areas
• How was Rheinmetall impacted by Russia-Ukraine?
• Ukraine needs more ammunition. Can Europe scale up fast enough? What role will Rheinmetall play?
• What is Rheinmetall’s strategic focus over the coming years?
• How does Rheinmetall assess the development of the European defence sector?
• The role of defence in our society and reconciliation with ESG values
 
Last year, HANetf launched Future of Defence UCITS ETF (NATO) of which Rheinmetall is a major constituent. The ETF provides exposure to NATO and NATO+ ally defence and cyber defence spending. The AUM of the ETF recently exceeded $500 million, highlighting the continued investor interest in this sector. At the end of the discussion, we will provide a brief update on the strategy.

The digital economy added $2.7 trillion to the U.S. economy in 2022, comprising around 10% of total GDP. As digitalisation accelerates, experts anticipate this figure to rise substantially, which could lead to robust growth for investments in the sector.

The advent of Web 3.0 necessitates a revolutionary overhaul of the internet’s infrastructure, underpinned by a cutting-edge technology stack for creating, transmitting, and storing digital value. From blockchains, to NFTs and tokenization, to the Metaverse, and artificial intelligence (AI) – pivotal technology sectors such as these are expected to be the engines of innovation and value in the digital economy of the future. 

Join our upcoming webinar where we’ll be joined by Chanchal Samadder, CFA, Head of Product at ETC Group, to take a closer look at the next iteration of the internet and the opportunities presented by Web 3.0. We’ll cover:

• The digital economy 
• Web 3.0 – the next iteration of the internet
• Key drivers: blockchains, NFTs and tokenization, the Metaverse, AI and big data
• Companies leading the charge

Reinventing the internet – Web 3.0

Active ETFs have arrived in Europe. Their AUM totalled around €35 billion at the end of 2023, but that number is growing by around a third each year. According to the latest annual survey from PwC, this demand is expected to continue to increase.

Asset managers are looking at active ETFs as a serious strategic opportunity that will enable them to grow and meet the needs of modern investors.

HANetf is Europe's largest provider of white-label ETFs and ETCs, providing a full white label operational, regulatory, distribution and marketing solution for asset managers who want to successfully launch and manage UCITS ETFs and ETCs.

We'll be joined by experts from New York Stock Exchange, Susquehanna International Group, Carne Group and A&L Goodbody to discuss the active ETF opportunity in the European market and the beginning-to-end process of launching an ETF in Europe.

Active ETFs are on the rise - are asset managers at risk of missing the boat?

Mexico’s economy stands out among the rest of Latin America. The country has one of the lowest debt-to-GDP ratios in the region and comparatively higher fiscal space. Being comparatively well positioned macroeconomically has spurred investor interest in Mexican government debt, which is now among the most liquid and actively traded in the broader Latin American market. Given its investment grade status, its open economy, and its position as one of the largest emerging market economies, Mexican debt is also increasingly attractive for asset managers in Europe.

We will be covering:
- The economic outlook of Mexico
- The case for Mexican bonds
- Why a UCITS ETF is the best way to access the market

Speakers:
Jessica Roldán Peña, Chief Economist at Finamex
Finamex’s chief economist since 2019. Prior to this, Jessica worked for 16 years at Banco de México, Mexico’s Central Bank, where she specialized in monetary policy and financial markets issues. During her last 5 years at this institution, she led the Monetary policy Research Unit.

Oscar Luna Farell, Fixed Income Head Trader at Finamex
Finamex’s Head Trader since 2017. Prior to this, Oscar worked for Goldman Sachs, where he helped launch the Mexican branch of the bank. He also specialized in providing market making activities of Mexican Fixed Income products for both local and offshore institutional clients. His market making experience in Mexican fixed income dates since 2010, as he also worked for Deutsche Bank and UBS.

Almudena Ruiz González, Equity Strategist Director at Finamex
Almudena joined Finamex Asset Management since 2015. She started managing the Mexico Equity Strategies, and now manages US and global equity strategies as well. Prior to this, Almudena worked in Bank of America, New York in Private Banking, structuring portfolios for UHNW clients.

Investing in Mexico: The case for Mexican government bonds

On 4th July, 2023, we launched Future of Defence UCITS ETF on London Stock Exchange (Ticker: NATO) and Deutsche Börse Xetra (WKN: A3EB9T). NATO allows investors to gain exposure to global companies generating revenues from NATO and non-NATO ally defence and cyber defence spending.

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine showed that the post-Cold War era is over. Countries are now waking up to their potential security vulnerabilities, be it in terms of military hardware or cyber defences.

In 2022, only seven of NATO's then-30 members met the 2% of GDP military spending target set by NATO. But with war breaking out in Europe and tensions ratcheting up elsewhere, NATO members are now taking their defence spending seriously. The 2% target is now spoken of as “a floor not a ceiling.”

At the same time, investors that have previously avoided investing in the defence sector due to ESG concerns are reassessing. For a growing number of investors, companies involved in developing and producing the means for countries to defend themselves against aggressor states should not face automatic exclusion.

Join our webinar to find out more about the investment opportunity in the ‘Future of Defence’.

Speakers:
• Jane Edmondson, Co-founder and CEO at EQM Indexes
• Julie Cane, Co-founder and CEO at Democracy Investments, former U.S. Naval Aviator

Defence spending hits record highs: Are your portfolios ready?

With its European Green Deal, the EU has set itself a very ambitious goal of becoming the first climate-neutral continent.

It is Europe’s new growth strategy. Through the European Green Deal, the EU aims to achieve three goals at the same time: save the planet, boost its economy and be more energy independent.

HANetf is working with Société Générale to build a new ETF offering exposure to the SGI European Green Deal Index. The index aims to leverage the investment potential of the 4 key sectors that could benefit from this ground-breaking agreement:

- Clean energy,
- Sustainable mobility,
- Building and renovation; and
- Circular economy.

Join us for a webinar with experts from Société Générale to learn the investment case presented by this ground-breaking growth plan.
