AMPLIFY ETF TRUST JUNIOR SILVER MINERS ETF – ISIN US0321086490
US ETFs (in theory) could potentially qualify for ISA inclusion if the fund had been recognised by the FCA under section 272 FSMA 2000 could meet the definition of a non-UCTS retail scheme. So that is the theory, but the fact that we have never seen a recognised US/Canadian fund suggests that there may be some reason why, in reality, US/ Canadian based funds ISN’T able to acquire the necessary recognised status from the FCA.
Some fund providers offer both US and European domiciled ETFs and whereas the US ETFs won’t normally be ISA qualifying, the European ETFs may (and usually do) qualify for ISA inclusion as they meet the ‘recognised UCITS’.
I’ve only seen a couple of US ETFs on the FCA register, so although it’s possible, is extremely unlikely for reasons given above.
The actual listing/trading or companies comprising the ETFs for ISA purposes, is irrelevant. It will need to be on the FCA register (i.e.. be FCA recognised) to qualify for ISA purposes.
I would say this ETF is not ISA qualifying (not surprised as this is a US ETF) as not on the FCA register (key requirement).
