LAIQON - EU AI ETF: Strong investor interest since listing on 18 August 2026 LAIQON - US AI ETF: Next trading launch in Q4 2026 Hamburg, 29 September 2026 LAIQON - EU AI ETF: Strong investor interest since listing on 18 August 2026 Asset and wealth manager LAIQON AG (LQAG, ISIN: DE000A12UP29), together with Amundi, Europe’s largest asset manager, has launched an innovative AI-optimised active ETF. Since its listing on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange on Tuesday, 18 August 2026 (see Corporate News dated 19 August 2026), the LAIQON - European Equity AI Optimized Active UCITS ETF (LAIQON - EU AI ETF, WKN: A42FBA) has already reached a fund volume of approximately EUR 60 million. “The investment volume achieved after the first six weeks of trading demonstrates the strong interest our innovative LAIQON - EU AI ETF is attracting from both private and institutional investors,” says Christian Sievers, Chief AI Officer of LAIQON AG. “It combines active, AI-supported portfolio management with the established ETF structure, making our AI technology, developed over many years, investable for a broad range of clients.” LAIQON launched its first active AI ETF using Amundi’s ETF-as-a-Service platform. Under the partnership, LAIQON contributes its expertise in AI-supported portfolio management, while Amundi provides the ETF structuring and administration via its white-label and active ETF platform. The ETF aims to harness the alpha potential of AI-supported portfolio management to achieve risk-adjusted outperformance versus the MSCI Europe Screened Index, with a clearly defined tracking error of 2% to 5% p.a. LAIQON - US AI ETF: Next trading launch in Q4 2026 As announced, LAIQON is consistently expanding its new LAIQON - Next.Generation AI ETF lineup. The range is expected to be expanded in early November 2026 with the addition of the LAIQON - US Equity AI Optimized Active UCITS ETF (LAIQON - US AI ETF). The new LAIQON - US AI ETF is based on the same investment approach as the LAIQON - EU AI ETF. The strategy now extends to the United States, the world’s largest equity market. Its objective is to outperform the MSCI USA Screened Index through active sector and individual security weightings. Here too, a tracking error of 2% to 5% p.a. ensures that active decisions remain within a clearly defined risk framework. In addition, the US strategy combines AI-supported security selection with clearly defined sustainability criteria.
