L&G has launched the L&G S&P 100 UCITS ETF, offering access to a core basket of the 100 largest US blue chip companies, also known as mega caps, which represent approximately two thirds of the S&P 500 Index by market capitalisation.
The S&P 100 NTR Index measures the performance of 100 companies selected from the S&P 500 index. Generally, the largest companies in the S&P 500 that have listed options are selected for index inclusion.
L&G has launched the ETF with an aim to provide investors with simple, liquid and cost-effective access to many of the largest stocks in the US market.
David Barron, Global Head of Index & ETFs at L&G commented: “US mega caps have historically benefitted from stable earnings, strong balance sheets, and durable business models. This ETF complements the recently launched L&G S&P100 Equal Weight ETF and we are excited about this new addition to our core equity ETF range. By launching this product, we seek to enable investors to choose their preferred way to access high-quality US mega caps, based on individual factors such as risk tolerance, diversification and views on the market.”
Fiona Boal, Global Head of Equities at S&P Dow Jones Indices: “We are pleased to continue our collaboration with L&G on the index licensed for their L&G S&P 100 UCITS ETF, further expanding access to US equity benchmarks in Europe. The S&P 100 Index offers exposure to some of the largest and most liquid companies in the US market and reflects the performance of businesses with strong fundamentals.”
The L&G S&P 100 Equal Weight UCITS ETF, launched in July 2025 and the first of its kind in Europe, aims to give those looking for US mega cap exposure with lower concentration risk.
