Allspring Global Investments™, a global asset management company with US$624 billion* in assets under advisement, announced the launch of the Allspring (Lux) Worldwide Fund – Global Equity Fund, a UCITS sub-fund offering a systematic core global equity investment strategy designed to deliver consistent, repeatable alpha whilst maintaining disciplined risk management across market cycles.
“With the growing success of our Global Equity Enhanced Income Fund and our Climate Transition Global Equity Fund in our UCITS range, we are proud to now launch the Allspring Global Equity Fund in response to client demand for a core global equity solution. This new fund reflects our continued investment in systematic capabilities that combine rigorous quantitative research with fundamental insight”, said Andy Sowerby, head of Allspring’s International Client Group. “As clients look for dependable sources of potential outperformance in an increasingly complex global market, this strategy extends our global equity franchise with a risk-controlled core solution designed for compelling performance across market cycles”.
The Global Equity Fund broadens Allspring’s systematic global equity offering, complementing its existing Global Equity Enhanced Income and Climate Transition Global Equity Funds. These two funds were launched in July 2020 and July 2021, respectively, and both have delivered top-quartile performance within their peer groups since.

The new fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by using proprietary quantitative models integrated with fundamental validation to identify attractively valued, high-quality companies with supportive momentum characteristics. The fund aims to achieve positive excess returns relative to the MSCI All Country World Index. The portfolio is broadly diversified and constructed through a disciplined process that combines active stock selection with holistic risk management.
“Our Global Equity Fund is designed to serve as a true core allocation for global equity portfolios”, said John Campbell, CFA, senior portfolio manager of the Global Equity Fund and head of Allspring’s Systematic Core Equity team. “By targeting bottom-up alpha whilst actively managing macro and fundamental risks, the strategy aims to deliver a smoother excess return profile across different market environments”.
The strategy is managed by Allspring’s Systematic Core Equity team, which oversees approximately US$10.8 billion in assets and has decades of experience managing enhanced index, high-conviction equity solutions.
The fund is available to investors in Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom in our UCITS vehicle. It will also be available to investors in Switzerland and select Asian countries in the coming months.
