SEI Investments Company has filed to launch a new ETF that tracks the iSTOXX Ang Research Enhanced US Large Cap Index.

Dubbed the SEI Ang Research Enhanced U.S. Large Cap ETF, the fund marks the firm’s latest move to expand its lineup with research-driven factor strategies.

The proposed ETF builds on a newly developed index created by STOXX Ltd. It also collaborates with Andrew Ang, a leading expert in quantitative and factor investing. The filing underscores SEI's push to bring institutional-grade investment approaches to a broader set of investors through the ETF wrapper.

The underlying index employs a multi-factor approach. It targets value, quality, and momentum, while incorporating dynamic factor rotation and risk controls to stay aligned with benchmark exposures.

The ETF aims to deliver enhanced long-term returns by balancing factor tilts with constraints on turnover and unintended risks. The launch also reflects growing demand for systematic, rules-based strategies as investors increasingly turn to factor ETFs for diversified sources of return.
