The new fund tracks the NYSE 100 UCITS Index, offering European investors exchange-agnostic exposure to approximately 100 US-listed technology and tech-enabled growth companies.

The fund launched simultaneously on Deutsche Börse Xetra, with additional European listings expected to follow in the near term. Carrying a highly competitive Total Expense Ratio (TER) of 0.09%, the ETF tracks the NYSE 100 UCITS Index, which provides targeted exposure to around 100 US companies driving innovation across multiple sectors and sub-industries.

Fund Objective and Structure

The Global X NYSE 100 UCITS ETF seeks investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the price and yield performance of the NYSE 100 UCITS Index. According to Global X, the fund is designed to capture companies positioned to benefit from the continued advancement of innovation in the modern economy. Key thematic exposures include digital platforms, e-commerce, mobile payments, satellite technology, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence.

The underlying index is administered and calculated by ICE Data Indices, a division of Intercontinental Exchange (ICE). Global X serves as the exclusive UCITS ETF licensee for this index. The NYSE 100 UCITS Index officially launched on 12 June 2026, alongside the broader, non-UCITS NYSE 100 Index.

Exchange-Agnostic Stock Selection: A Key Differentiator

A defining feature of the index, as highlighted by Global X, is its exchange-agnostic methodology. Stock selection is based on fundamental company characteristics rather than listing venue. Consequently, NYSX draws eligible constituents from US-listed companies across multiple exchanges, including the NYSE, Nasdaq, NYSE American, Cboe BZX, and NYSE Arca.

This stands in direct contrast to the Nasdaq 100, which is strictly limited to companies listed on the Nasdaq exchange. Global X explicitly positions the NYSE 100 UCITS Index as a comprehensive, rival benchmark to the Nasdaq 100.

Furthermore, the index methodology incorporates companies demonstrating strong revenue momentum and scalable business models. Quarterly reconstitutions are designed to ensure the portfolio maintains dynamic exposure to newly listed and emerging growth-oriented companies as market leadership evolves.

Listing Details

Trading for NYSX commenced on both the London Stock Exchange and Deutsche Börse Xetra on 20 August 2026. Global X has indicated that additional listings across other European trading venues are anticipated, though specific exchanges and timelines have not yet been formally confirmed.

Sector Composition

Sector-level data published for the broader, non-UCITS NYSE 100 Index indicates that Technology represents the largest weighting at 66.3%, followed by Media and Communication at 15.1%, and Consumer Discretionary at 14.3%.

Investor Note: This breakdown refers specifically to the parent NYSE 100 Index and not the UCITS version tracked by NYSX. At the time of writing, a separate, confirmed sector breakdown for the UCITS index itself was not publicly available. Therefore, these figures should be treated strictly as indicative of the parent index’s methodology, rather than as a direct portfolio disclosure for the NYSX ETF.

Market Context and Conclusion

This listing aligns with a broader industry trend wherein index providers and asset managers are developing benchmarks and products centered on technology-driven growth themes that transcend single-exchange definitions like the Nasdaq 100. Global X frames NYSX as a vehicle for achieving diversified exposure to high-growth areas such as cloud computing, automation, data analytics, and fintech, alongside more established technology sub-sectors.

In summary, effective 20 August 2026, the NYSX ETF is tradable on the London Stock Exchange and Deutsche Börse Xetra. With a TER of 0.09%, it provides European investors with a cost-efficient, exchange-agnostic gateway to the US technology and innovation ecosystem, tracking the ICE Data Indices-administered NYSE 100 UCITS Index.
