Annual all-in fee reduced to 0.07 percent from previously 0.12 percent
Lowest all-in fee in the ETF market for broad global equity indices
Cost-efficient core building block for long-term wealth accumulation with global equities
As of 1 June 2026, DWS is reducing the annual all-in fee for the Xtrackers FTSE All-World UCITS ETF to 0.07 percent. This makes the ETF, in terms of the annual all-in fee, the most cost-efficient way to access large and mid-cap equities from developed and emerging markets in a single index. As a result, the ETF becomes even more attractive as a core building block for a broadly diversified global equity allocation.
The FTSE All-World Index includes around 4,200 large- and mid-cap stocks from developed and emerging markets in more than 45 countries. As part of the FTSE Global Equity Index Series, it represents around 90–95% of the global investable market capitalization, thereby providing broad and transparent access to global equities in a single index.
Broad, global ETFs covering developed and emerging markets are a central component of long-term savings plans and are also likely to play a major role in future government-subsidized retirement provision. Over long periods, ETF costs have a significant impact on how closely the equity market’s performance is reflected in a portfolio. With this fee adjustment, Xtrackers enables investors to gain attractive and low-cost access to the performance of global equity markets.
“The fee reduction underscores our commitment to offering investors efficient and competitive investment products for long-term wealth accumulation,” says Simon Klein, Global Head of Private Wealth at DWS. “We aim to create added value for long-term wealth accumulation. The bottom line is that investors should retain a greater share of the potential returns.”
