InterCapital Poland ETF May List in Bucharest

InterCapital Poland WIG30TR UCITS ETF tracks the WIG30 Total Return index and invests directly in 30 Polish companies across banking, retail, energy, mining and technology. The fund reinvests dividends and carries a total annual expense ratio of 0.60%.

If approved, it would become the fifth InterCapital ETF available in Bucharest, alongside funds linked to Romanian, Slovenian and Croatian equities and a euro-denominated Romanian government bond ETF. InterCapital says the fund is already listed in Zagreb and Ljubljana after launching in May 2026.

The timing also fits a period of elevated rates and cautious positioning, with the U.S. 10-year Treasury yield at 5.26% and the Federal Reserve funds rate steady at 3.63% in August, conditions that tend to keep investors focused on diversification and yield. InterCapital had about 12 million euros in assets under management in the Poland ETF as of Aug. 31.

The fund’s heaviest weightings are in financials at 41.8%, followed by consumer discretionary at 15.3%, materials at 11.1% and energy at 9.6%. Top holdings include PKO Bank Polski, Bank Pekao, PZU, Orlen and KGHM, while consumer brands familiar to Romanian shoppers include Pepco, Żabka’s Froo and LPP’s Sinsay and Reserved labels.

For BVB, the listing would add another cross-border instrument as local exchange operators and asset managers compete to capture retail demand for simpler, listed products. The next catalyst is regulatory approval, which will determine when the ETF starts trading in Bucharest and how quickly InterCapital can broaden its regional ETF footprint.
