Amundi lists an ETF dedicated to European strategic autonomy on Xetra

The instrument aims to offer investors a portfolio of European securities considered relevant to strengthening the continent’s strategic autonomy.

The ETF tracks the Euronext European Strategic Autonomy index, developed jointly by Amundi and Euronext. The basket selects companies based in the European Economic Area that generate a significant portion of their revenues in ten predefined sectors: energy, electrical networks and equipment, infrastructure, logistics, food safety, pharmaceuticals and chemicals, software, semiconductors, finance, aerospace and defence.

Within the index, stocks are equally weighted for each sector, with the aim of maintaining a balanced distribution of thematic exposures.

Product operating characteristics

The fund, domiciled in Luxembourg and managed by Amundi Luxembourg S.A., has ISIN code LU3180074463 and WKN ETF288. The annualised total expense ratio (TER) is set at 0.40%. The replication is physical; the methodology involves representative sampling of the index components, without necessarily holding them all in the same proportions. The custodian bank is Société Générale Luxembourg.

According to platform data, the top ten holdings as of 15 January 2026 included ASML Holding (8.89%), SAP (8.08%), Danone (5.44%), Schneider Electric (4.18%) and DSV (3.48%). TotalEnergies, Airbus, Iberdrola, Novo Nordisk and Safran complete the list.

At the sector level, the largest weightings are in industrials (33.6%), technology (21.7%) and financials (10.2%). By country of domicile, the French component accounts for 32.1% of the portfolio, followed by Germany (20.4%) and the Netherlands (11.0%).

Context and statements

The initiative is part of a framework of European public policies aimed at reducing external dependencies in critical sectors. Amundi argues that financing these priorities also requires an increase in private investment. The launch expands the asset manager’s range of European equity ETFs, which as of 28 September 2025 represented assets under management of more than €65 billion.

Benoit Sorel, Global Head of ETF & Indexing at Amundi, said: “Amundi is committed to developing investment solutions that enable clients to support Europe’s strategic autonomy and benefit from European strategic initiatives in the coming years. In a world marked by persistent geopolitical risks and increasing regionalisation, we are delighted to be working with a recognised European financial player to create a new, efficient solution for investing in companies that are essential for building a resilient and autonomous Europe.”

The listing on Xetra expands the availability of the product for investors in Germany and the eurozone, adding to the listings already active in Paris and alternative trading platforms in Europe.
