HANetf has brought Trading Central’s quantitative global equity strategy to London, with both sterling and US dollar trading lines.
The fund trades in sterling under the ticker TCW and in US dollars under TCQW. It tracks the Solactive TC Quant WW 50 Index, which selects 50 global stocks using Trading Central’s proprietary quantitative rating. Holdings are equally weighted and rebalanced monthly, and the total expense ratio (TER) is 1%.

How the Trading Central quant model works
According to HANetf, the ETF aims to track the performance of its index as closely as possible, before fees and expenses. The fund invests in the securities that make up the index, in the same proportions in which they are represented.
The index is calculated by Solactive and is based on the TC Quantamental Rating®, Trading Central SA’s proprietary rating system. The TC Quant indices provide systematic exposure to the 50 companies with the highest scores under the firm’s methodology. In the Global 50, the selection is drawn from a worldwide equity universe.
HANetf describes the strategy as “systematic active.” The process is rules-based and non-discretionary. It involves no intervention by a portfolio manager and, according to HANetf, is not subject to style drift. The model is rebalanced every month and re-ranks the market using proprietary data that, according to the issuer, is not otherwise available to investors.
HANetf says the approach is designed to outperform traditional broad equity indices. This is an objective stated by the issuer, not a guaranteed result.
Five-factor selection of global equities
The methodology combines quantitative signals with fundamental analysis. Each stock is assessed on five factors at the same time:
growth
alue
income
quality
momentum
The five factors group a larger set of individual indicators. In its listing notice for the Trading Central Quant Europe 50 Equity UCITS ETF, which uses the same framework, Deutsche Börse described a scoring model that analyses 20 indicators across these five factors.
According to HANetf, the model is supported by 27 years of Trading Central research and by more than five years of independent performance data. Part of this data is simulated (back-tested) and part was recorded in real time. Trading Central has worked in financial research since 1999.
Equal weighting: 2% per stock
The portfolio holds 50 stocks, each weighted at 2%. Equal weighting prevents the fund from concentrating on a small number of companies, as happens in market capitalisation-weighted indices.
The 2% weight is set at each monthly rebalance. During the month, actual weights can move away from 2% as individual share prices change, until the next rebalance.
For investors, this has two practical consequences:
The smaller companies in the selection carry the same weight as the largest.
Monthly rebalancing leads to higher portfolio turnover than in traditional indices, and the related transaction costs are borne by the fund.
Costs: a TER of 1%
The Global 50 has a TER of 1% a year. This is above the level of ETFs tracking market capitalisation-weighted equity indices, which generally charge considerably less. The fee reflects the use of Trading Central’s proprietary methodology and the management of an index that is rebalanced monthly.
The Trading Central ETF range in Europe and Canada
The two October listings extend a range that HANetf started in Europe in the summer of 2026.
The same indices are already used in Canada. In March 2026, LongPoint Asset Management listed four Trading Central ETFs on the Toronto Stock Exchange. They include the Trading Central Quant Global 50 Equity Index ETF (TCWW), which tracks the Solactive TC Quant WW 50 Index. The Canadian funds are not UCITS-compliant and are not intended for European investors.
About Trading Central and HANetf
Trading Central SA is based in Paris. Since 1999, it has provided independent financial research and analysis, mainly to brokers and platforms serving retail investors. The company is registered as an investment adviser in several jurisdictions.
HANetf acts as issuer. It is an independent European platform that allows third-party firms to launch UCITS ETFs and ETCs under their own brand. The Trading Central funds are sub-funds of HANetf ICAV, an Irish-law vehicle authorised by the Central Bank of Ireland.
Conclusion
The Global 50 does not yet have a meaningful trading history in Europe. Investors can review the performance of the underlying index on Solactive’s website, bearing in mind that part of the historical series is based on back-tested simulations.
