"Lonit" Launches a range of themed Boreas ETFs in Europe

ABU DHABI, 15 JANUARY / WAM / Lunit, a global investment management company based in Abu Dhabi, announced today the launch of its group of special-themed Boreas ETFs on the “Zetra” platform managed by the German Stock Exchange “Deutsche Börse”, becoming the first company in the region to provide a group of ETFs on a European exchange.

The launch of the Boreas range of funds managed by Lunit highlights the strong financial links between the capital markets in the Middle East and Europe, giving global investors access to a new range of innovative and specially themed ETFs.

The group includes exchange-traded funds that offer different levels of risks and returns, and aims to benefit from unique trends and themes that are expected to contribute to enhancing economic value in the future, and building investment portfolios with higher levels of efficiency.

The Boreas S&P AI Data, Energy and Infrastructure EUSETS ETF is scheduled to begin trading today on the Zetra platform under the symbol “POWR” for trading in euros and the symbol “POWA” for trading in dollars, followed by the dual listing of the “Boreas S&P Luxury Commodities EUSETS ETF” on the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange and the “Zetra” platform on January 27, 2026 AD.

Lunit continues to expand its portfolio of European ETFs with the upcoming listing of the Eustace Boreas Solactive Quantum Computing ETF, as well as other innovative funds expected to launch later this year.

The simultaneous listing of the luxury goods fund provides global investors with access to the luxury goods sector in Europe.

With the number of millionaires globally expected to rise by approximately 10% by 2029, demand for luxury goods will continue to grow at a rapid pace.

By investing exclusively in the European luxury goods sector, which benefits from strong competitive advantages based on a long heritage, high craftsmanship, and a well-established global reputation for brands, the fund provides access to a distinctive investment opportunity that keeps pace with the significant growth witnessed in global wealth.

The fund, which seeks to emulate the performance of the S&P Europe Luxury 35/20 Capped Index, 32, will include companies that include Hermes, Ferrari, Burberry, LVMH, and Richemont. The total fund expense ratio will be 49 basis points.

Investors in the United Arab Emirates can subscribe to the fund through 6 accredited commissioners, or through the Abu Dhabi Securities Market’s electronic subscription platform during the period extending from January 15 to 21, 2026 AD.
