DWS expands its product range of China equity ETFs with Xtrackers ETF on Chinese small cap stocks

14/08/2024

  • Xtrackers CSI500 Swap UCITS ETF listed in Frankfurt and London

  • Broadly diversified underlying index

  • Provides investors with access to the performance of small cap stocks on Chinese stock exchanges

DWS is expanding its product range of Xtrackers ETFs that track various segments of the Chinese equity market. With the Xtrackers CSI500 Swap UCITS ETF, DWS offers access to the performance of Chinese small caps. The ETF was listed on the London Stock Exchange today and has been traded on Deutsche Boerse since yesterday. The all-in-fee is 0.35%.

The ETF aims to track the CSI Smallcap 500 Index as closely as possible. The index reflects the performance of 500 predominantly small and medium-sized companies listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange and the Shenzhen Stock Exchange. Compared to other indices, the CSI 500 is broadly diversified: the share of the ten largest companies is currently around six percent . Just under a quarter of the shares included in the index are in the industrial sector, followed by basic materials (16%) and information technology (13%). The performance of the index is represented by indirect replication via a swap. This means that the index return is provided by a swap counterparty.

Xtrackers is further expanding its range of China ETFs with the CSI 500 UCITS ETF. Investors can now choose from a total of nine different ETFs (see table below). The Xtrackers CSI300 Swap UCITS ETF 1C, launched back in 2010, was the first ETF to offer European investors access to the Chinese domestic stock exchanges Shanghai and Shenzhen. As of the beginning of August 2024, DWS manages more than USD 2.5 billion in Xtrackers ETFs on the Chinese equity market.

“The management of China as an investment region in its own right is becoming increasingly important. We are observing that investors are placing a stronger focus on the question of what role China should play in the portfolio, as well as on which indices best reflect the Chinese market,” said Simon Klein, Global Head of Xtrackers Sales at DWS.
