BNP Paribas and Leverage Shares unveil new ETFs on European exchanges

BNP Paribas Asset Management launched the Easy Alpha Enhanced Global High Yield UCITS ETF (EDEHETF) on 26 June 2025. The Luxembourg‑domiciled fund targets high‑yield corporate bonds, applies an ESG‑integration methodology, and charges a 0.18 % TER. It has €6 million in assets under management and aims to outperform the Bloomberg Global High Yield Corporate Index.

Leverage Shares announced the listing of four new exchange‑traded products on Deutsche Börse, among them two IncomeShares options linked to SpaceX and to DRAM memory chips. These are Europe’s first income‑focused ETPs tied to the space‑technology and semiconductor sectors, offering long, short and options‑based exposure. The platform now hosts over 55 ETFs/ETPs with close to USD 200 million in managed capital. Additional listings include Defiance Photonics UCITS ETF and other thematic funds expanding the European ETF market.

The announcements reflect a broader push toward niche, ESG‑aligned and sector‑specific products in Europe’s active ETF landscape.
