JP Morgan Asset Management registered 8 active exchange-traded-funds (ETFs) in Singapore on Monday.

The registration comes after the firm launched 3 equity premium income ETFs earlier this year in April.

The 8 new ETFs are comprised of seven of the firm’s research enhanced index (REI) range and one active fixed income ETF, the JPMorgan USD Ultra-Short Income Active UCITS ETF (Ticker: JPST).

The REI range includes two global equity ETFs, a US equity ETF, a European equity ETF, a Japan equity ETF, an Emerging Markets ETF and an Asia Pacific ex Japan ETF.

Ayaz Ebrahim, CEO of Singapore and South East Asia at JPMAM said: “The local registration of our first batch of ETFs in April has seen robust investor interest and substantial flow.”

“Encouraged by this adoption of active ETFs in the local market, we decided to build on the momentum and introduce more innovative ETF strategies – the REI suite can serve as active building blocks for investors’ equity core portfolios while JPST helps fixed income investors manage credit and duration exposure with a conservative mindset.”

Philippe El-Asmar, head of APAC ETF, digital & direct at JPMAM, added: “Our REI ETFs are designed to provide a cost-effective solution, blending index-like equity exposure with stock-specific insights.”

“This makes them an attractive option for investors looking to stay active and aiming to avoid high levels of tracking error.”
