We are able to offer Italian investors an increasingly comprehensive product range supported by three core strengths which characterize our toolbox: competitive prices, quality products and continuous innovation."

Pietro Poletto, head of the ETFplus market, adds: "We are pleased to welcome to the first Amundi ETFs of our market that, leveraging the experience gained in its domestic market, offer to Italians clients the possibility to invest in the major developed stock markets and emerging markets as well as in leveraged and short ETFs.
