Eurizon, the asset management arm of the Intesa Sanpaolo Group, has entered the ETF space with the launch of YourIndex Sicav, a range of index-linked products designed to meet strategic and tactical asset allocation needs.
Building on its experience with semi-passive limited tracking error funds—first introduced in 2008—Eurizon is expanding its footprint with a broad suite of ETF and traditional fund offerings. The new Sicav ( an open-ended investment fund structure offered by European financial companies) is managed by Eurizon Capital SA, the firm’s Luxembourg-based subsidiary, and offers a mix of listed Ucits ETFs and non-listed fund share classes targeting retail and institutional investors.

The YourIndex Sicav lineup includes 26 funds across major equity and bond asset classes. The equity tranche launched on 23 May, with the ETF share classes hitting the market on June 18. The bond fund rollout began on 6 June and will continue in phases.
YourIndex Sicav blends the benefits of ETFs and investment funds, using quantitative models and discretionary insights to outperform benchmarks. It also integrates ESG criteria in its investment process, shared the provider.
“Eurizon ‘s strategy has always been characterised by a strong focus on product innovation in response to our clients’ needs”, said Massimo Mazzini, deputy general manager, marketing and business development at Eurizon. “This is why we have created a range of ETFs and passive funds that offer flexibility in accessing specific markets, with cost advantages. These instruments”, Mazzini added, “fit into Eurizon’s offering as an important support for portfolio diversification, not as a replacement for traditional funds, but rather with a view to complementing active and passive management. For us, they represent optimal solutions as components of asset management, unit-linked and funds-of-funds schemes where active asset allocation management is the main component of value creation for our clients”.
