Three New Xtrackers ETFs on Xetra: International Large Caps with Currency Hedging

The following three ETFs were issued on Deutsche Börse:

  • The Xtrackers S&P 500 UCITS ETF gives investors the opportunity to participate in the performance of the S&P 500 index. The benchmark index comprises the top 500 companies in the US equity market.
  • With the Xtracker Nikkei 225 UCITS ETF, investors can participate in the performance of the Nikkei index. The benchmark index is composed of the 225 largest stock companies of the Tokyo Stock Exchange, which are reviewed at regular intervals with regard to market liquidity and sector equilibrium. Liquidity takes into account the trading volume and the extent of price fluctuations over the past five years.
  • The Xtrackers iBoxx USD Corporate Bond Yield Plus UCITS ETF enables an investment in corporate bonds denominated in US dollars. The benchmark index largely comprises fixed-income securities with a ranking between BB- and AAA.

All three ETFs use a hedging strategy to minimize the exchange rate risk between the currency of the index components and the euro.
