The Funds Europe Awards 2025 are set to honour the best European providers of both active and passive Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs). Scheduled to take place on Thursday, 20 November 2025, at the London Hilton Bankside, the awards ceremony aims to recognise excellence in the ETF industry.

For the Passive ETF Category, the shortlisted providers are Amundi, BNP Paribas Asset Management, Global X ETFs Europe, HANetf, Invesco, KraneShares, VanEck, and WisdomTree.

In contrast, the shortlisted providers for the passive ETF category will be evaluated based on strategy innovation, reference to tracking error, indications of good processes, enabling access to thematic opportunities, and the ability to confront difficulties with ESG investing.
