Solactive has announced its renewed collaboration with Global X with the upcoming launch of two income-focused ETFs on the London Stock Exchange.
The Global X European SuperDividend UCITS ETF tracks the Solactive European SuperDividend Index as the Global X UK SuperDividend UCITS ETF tracks the Solactive United Kingdom SuperDividend Index, offering investors targeted access to high-dividend-yielding stocks across Europe and the UK.
Solactive writes that high-dividend strategies have gained renewed relevance amid ongoing market uncertainty, as they provide a reliable income stream and historically exhibit lower drawdowns during economic slowdowns. With many portfolios still heavily weighted toward US assets, these ETFs also enable investors to rebalance geographically and diversify their equity exposure more effectively, the firm says.
Both the Solactive European SuperDividend and the Solactive United Kingdom SuperDividend Index are constructed from Solactive’s Global Benchmark Series, which provides a broad and liquid starting universe. After applying tradability filters, constituents are screened based on dividend sustainability, excluding companies with insufficient or potentially unsustainable yields. The final index composition is determined by dividend yield, with individual positions capped at 5 per cent to avoid overconcentration.

Timo Pfeiffer, Chief Markets Officer at Solactive, says: “Amid shifting market dynamics, dividend-oriented investment strategies continue to attract strong investor interest. We are pleased to extend our partnership with Global X through the launch of these two indices.”
George Taylor, Co-head and Chief Operating Officer of Global X ETFs Europe, says: “We’re thrilled to be expanding our SuperDividend product suite in partnership with Solactive.
“With European investors increasingly looking for more regional-focused income strategies, we’re pleased to offer this through the launch of EUSD and UKSD, both of which aim to provide exposure to high dividend-paying equities in Europe and the UK.”
