For Immediate Release
Ausbil Investment Management Limited (Ausbil) is pleased to announce the launch of its fourth exchange-traded fund (ETF) this year, the Candriam Sustainable Global Equity Fund - Active ETF (ASX: GSUS). Ausbil has launched GSUS in response to investor demand for an actively managed portfolio of best-of-sector listed sustainable equities from around the world.

Ausbil and Candriam are related through a shared parent company, New York Life Investment Management LLC. This relationship enables Ausbil to provide access to Candriam’s global equity strategies in an ETF structure suited to Australian investors.

“Candriam’s investment process combines company level research with top down sectoral analysis to select stocks demonstrating good Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) characteristics, according to Candriam’s ESG framework,” said Mark Knight, Chief Executive Officer, Ausbil. “We are excited to broaden access to Candriam’s sustainable global equity strategy, responding to the growing demand from investors seeking a more convenient and efficient way to invest in our sustainable investment solutions.”

“We believe Candriam’s sustainable investment approach provides a distinct competitive advantage,” said Paul Xiradis, Executive Chairman, Chief Investment Officer and Head of Equities at Ausbil.

The Fund is certified by the Responsible Investment Association Australasia (RIAA) for integrating ESG and sustainability objectives across its portfolio and stewardship practices.

This marks Ausbil’s fourth ETF launch in 2025, following the recent launch of the Ausbil Active Dividend Income Fund – Active ETF (ASX: DIVI), the Ausbil Global SmallCap Fund - Active ETF (ASX: GSCF), and the Ausbil Global Essential Infrastructure Fund (Hedged) - Active ETF (ASX: GHIF).

Candriam stands for “Conviction AND Responsibility In Asset Management” and manages approximately EUR$156 billion in assets globally, as at 30 June 2025.
