The best of active management and ETFs

Our active ETFs combine DJE's research expertise with the advantages of traditional ETFs: cost efficiency, transparency and continuous tradability.

 

With our ETFs, you invest in focused equity portfolios that are selected and weighted according to a clear, rule-based system.

 

Unlike passive ETFs, which rigidly track an index, our active ETF can react to changes, adjust weightings and thus consciously deviate from index developments - with the aim of investing in the most promising companies over the long term at all times.

What makes our active ETFs special?

Targeted selection instead of index tracking

Investments are made in focused portfolios of selected equities from the perspective of the DJE research team. No broad index, but focused quality.

Innovative ETF

Not a fund of funds, not a classic mutual fund. DJE's active ETFs are fully-fledged, exchange-traded ETFs with daily tradability.

Actively managed

Our ETFs are rebalanced on a quarterly basis. Current information such as market developments and company analyses are constantly incorporated into the decisions.

Sustainability aspects

When selecting stocks, we take ESG aspects into account on the basis of MSCI data. Companies with controversial weapons, high shares of coal or tobacco and violations of the UN Global Compact are excluded.

Simply invest

Our ETFs are available via standard brokers or your bank. Depending on the provider, you can invest both as a one-off investment and via a savings plan - even with small amounts.

Rule-based & transparent

Our data-driven investment process combines qualitative and quantitative factors. This provides structure and transparency.

Investments involve risks.

Portfolio structure

Each DJE active ETF comprises the top 50 stocks in the respective region, selected according to the findings of the DJE research team.

 

The weighting follows a clear system:

 

  • Positions 1-25: up to 2.5% each

  • Positions 26-50: up to 1.5% each

  • Mega caps ("index heavyweights"): according to their actual index weighting

 

This creates a focused portfolio of the most promising companies in the region from the perspective of the DJE Research team.

Portfolio management

The composition is actively managed - based on the ongoing quantitative and qualitative analyses of DJE Research.

 

Quarterly rebalancing is a key component:

 

  • Review of the entire portfolio

  • Adjustment through purchases and sales

  • Returning the securities to the original weighting

 

In this way, our ETFs remain flexible, up-to-date and consistently aligned with DJE's research.

Risks: Equity prices can be highly volatile due to market, currency, or company-specific factors. Stock selection does not necessarily outperform the broader market. The use of data-driven quantitative models may be less effective under certain market conditions. Currency risks may arise from investments in US-dollar markets or in securities not denominated in euros.
