# What happened HANSAINVEST listed the BIT Global Technology Leaders UCITS ETF on SIX Swiss Exchange. The listing makes HANSAINVEST the exchange's 39th ETF issuer. The new ETF is actively managed and structured to meet EU UCITS requirements.
# What the fund offers The ETF gives investors access to a global, benchmark-agnostic portfolio that focuses on technology and AI infrastructure companies across both developed and emerging markets. The strategy behind the ETF was built by BIT Capital and has been operated since 2019.
Investors who choose the ETF get the same underlying portfolio, the same investment process, and the same fund management team that ran the original BIT Global Technology Leaders strategy. The approach filters potential holdings with environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria.
# Why HANSAINVEST and SIX positioned the listing this way HANSAINVEST framed the listing as a way to make BIT Capital's proven global technology strategy available "in an efficient exchange-traded format." Dr. Jörg W. Stotz, Spokesman of the Management board at HANSAINVEST, is quoted in the announcement.
SIX highlighted that the listing broadens investor choice in Switzerland and said it underlines the continued relevance of active ETF strategies in segments shaped by long-term technological innovation. Danielle Reischuk, Senior ETFs and ETPs Sales Manager at SIX Swiss Exchange, is quoted on that point.
# Who this is likely for
- Investors seeking concentrated exposure to technology and AI infrastructure through a traded vehicle rather than a traditional mutual fund.
- Investors who prefer active management and the specific process used by BIT Capital, now available in an ETF wrapper.
- Market participants who require UCITS compliance for regulatory or distribution reasons within Europe.
# How this relates to the market context The move reflects continued demand for ETF structures that offer active strategies, particularly in technology and AI-related areas. It also aligns with broader product innovation on exchanges that aim to increase investor choice by listing specialist strategies.
