KBC Asset Management is taking an important next step in its long-term ambition to get “everyone invested, all the time” with the launch of its first Exchange Traded Fund (ETF). This milestone supports KBC’s broader strategy to provide investment solutions that are easy, valuable and reliable for a wide range of clients.

KBC Asset Management sees a clear opportunity to differentiate through its strong position in each of its home markets. KBC’s local edge, deep market insights, regulatory expertise and long-standing client relationships together complement the universe of standard ETFs available to retail investors.

KBC Asset Management is launching the bluesphere° World Equity UCITS ETF, an index tracker providing broad exposure to global equity markets enhanced with a highly demanded local feature. The ETF is available in a CZK-hedged share class, making it a unique proposition in the ETF landscape specifically designed to meet the needs of Czech investors. It allows investors to manage currency risk while gaining access to global financial markets through a transparent, liquid and cost-efficient investment vehicle.

The bluesphere° World Equity UCITS ETF – CZK Hedged will be listed on Euronext Amsterdam as of 16 April 2026, ensuring easy access for investors across Europe via major brokers and investment platforms.

“Launching a CZK-hedged ETF is a logical next step in our ambition to get everyone invested, all the time. ​ Our strong presence in our core markets allows us to bring easy, valuable and reliable investment solutions to both existing and new KBC clients.” says Johan Lema, CEO of KBC Asset Management.
