"Research is highly complex and regularly takes unexpected turns but current software platforms often fail to allow this level of flexibility.

Citi joins existing backers to support the white-label ETF platform as assets under management reach record highs.
"Citi’s investment is a landmark moment for HANetf. It demonstrates the strength of our expertise, the growth of ETF white-labelling, and in HANetf’s importance within the European ETF ecosystem. We’ve always believed that ETF white labelling would become a core part of the asset management and servicing ecosystem as it has done so before within the broader funds industry. We’re proud to add Citi to our cap table alongside other high-quality institutional investors such as Point72, Elkstone, and ThirdStream, who have been investors in HANetf since 2017. We are already reinvesting the profits from our growth and this investment will allow us to exponentially grow the capabilities of our own platform sooner, in order to build out HANetf’s capacity as more clients continue to choose HANetf to launch ETFs ahead other ETF launch options."

We’ve developed a new range of coatings systematically optimised for overhead lines that makes the grid more efficient and resilient – not by rebuilding it, but by enhancing what already exists."
