DWS Offers Active Portfolio Management in an Efficient ETF with Xtrackers Equity Enhanced Active UCITS ETFs

30/05/2025

  • New actively managed ETFs are suitable as return-oriented core components with a strong risk management approach for individual allocation

  • Three different investment regions: Global, European and US equities

  • Favourable flat fees of 0.2% and 0.25% per annum

With the launch of three new actively managed ETFs, DWS is expanding its offering with an innovative product category that combines the advantages of active portfolio management with the liquidity and transparency of ETFs. 

The new Xtrackers Equity Enhanced Active ETFs are based on DWS's systematic equity strategies, which have a long track record of success. The three ETFs, focusing on the global, European and US equity markets, were listed on the German Stock Exchange on May 30th. A listing on other stock exchanges is planned.

The new Xtrackers Equity Enhanced Active ETFs draw on a proven, disciplined investment approach that the Qi Research & Investment Team at DWS has been implementing since 2001. The objective is to achieve a continuous excess return (alpha) relative to the respective benchmark index while managing risk relative to the benchmark. The expected tracking error is between 0.75% and 1.5%.

‘We are seeing growing demand for flexible, transparent and actively managed investment solutions, particularly among institutional investors at present. We expect demand to increase further in the future, especially via digital platforms. With the Xtrackers Equity Enhanced Active ETFs, we are offering targeted solutions for this rapidly growing target group,’ said Simon Klein, Global Head of Xtrackers Sales at DWS.

‘The entire fund industry is in an exciting phase. It's all about offering investors the best possible investment solution for different customer segments and market situations,’ said Michael Mohr, Global Head of Xtrackers Products at DWS. ‘Thanks to our combined decades of experience, we can combine the advantages of an ETF with active components.’ 

Xtrackers Equity Enhanced Active ETFs can serve as core building blocks for individual allocation across different asset classes, aiming to diversify risk while achieving the highest possible return. They are particularly suitable for investors who want to combine risk-conscious active management with the high liquidity and transparency of an ETF.

The investment strategy is based on a systematic, multi-dimensional analysis of the relative attractiveness of equities in the investment universe using fundamental and technical indicators. The portfolios are re-optimised on a monthly basis and actively managed in line with clearly defined risk parameters.

The launch of the Xtrackers Equity Enhanced Active UCITS ETFs is an important part of DWS's long-term product strategy. The offering has already been expanded in the past by combining active and passive expertise.

"I am delighted to be able to combine our many years of experience in active quantitative portfolio management with the established expertise of Xtrackers. Innovative alpha research with the aim of outperforming the respective benchmark and the evaluation of large amounts of data using data science methods, alongside modern portfolio construction, form the basis of our success. The new Xtrackers Equity Enhanced Active ETFs enable us to offer this proven investment expertise to numerous new investors," said Dr. Irina Sidorovitch, Co-Head of Investment Solutions and Head of Qi Quantitative Investments.
