This ETF is the first to track the BET-EF index and the second sector ETF available on the BVB.

Nicolae Adrian Pastor, CEO of Globinvest, said: "Through this fund, we aim at providing investors with a simple and solid solution to access the most relevant companies in the energy, utilities and financial sectors - essential sectors for the stability and growth of the Romanian economy." 

The Globinvest Energy & Financials ETF aims to replicate the performance of the Bucharest Exchange Trading Energy, Utilities and Financials Index (BET-EF). The index comprises Romanian companies listed on the BVB's Regulated Market, specifically those in the energy, utilities, and financial sectors.

Companies included in the BET-EF index are selected based on their liquidity and free-float capitalization.

As of April 25, the total capitalization of companies listed on the main segment of the Bucharest Stock Exchange is RON 365 billion (€73,3 billion), with the companies in the BET-EF index representing approximately RON 200 billion (€40 billion).
