In February 2021, HANetf appointed Manooj Mistry as Chief Operating Officer where he was formerly CEO of DWS Investments UK Limited and Head of Xtrackers ETFs and Index Investing at DWS.

The new appointments join as HANetf’s assets under management have reached over $2.5 billion in recent weeks. At the start of this year, AUM was around $1.12 billion.

Co-CEO of HANetf, Hector McNeil, said: “HANetf currently offer 14 ETFs, and have a pipeline of 15 ETF launches planned for later this year. Simon, Liam and Ramon bring a huge amount of experience, which we will use to further enhance our distribution and product strategy and growth.

With nearly 30 years of experience, Simon brings an unparalleled knowledge of active fund sales which we see as a huge growth opportunity for HANetf and the European ETF industry more generally. We have several active ETFs in the immediate pipeline and expect it to be at least 20% of our offering over time. Simon is the right level of senior appointment for HANetf, which is one of the fastest growing ETF firms in Europe and globally.”

This includes product development, operational, regulatory, distribution and marketing solutions for asset managers and business who want to successfully launch and manage ETFs and ETPs to leverage their existing brands and expertise.
