DWS changes index for Xtrackers ETF on Chinese equities
10/21/2025
The Xtrackers Harvest FTSE China A-H50 UCITS ETF will become the Xtrackers Harvest CSI A500 UCITS ETF
New benchmark index comprises 500 equities traded on the Shanghai or Shenzhen stock exchanges
Following the index change, the ETF offers the opportunity for diversified exposure to smaller companies in China as well
For further information, please contact:
DWS is changing the reference index of an ETF on Chinese equities and, accordingly, the fund’s name. The Xtrackers Harvest FTSE China A-H50 (ISIN: LU1310477036) will in future track the performance of the CSI A500 Index. Its name will therefore change to Xtrackers Harvest CSI A500 UCITS ETF. The ISIN remains unchanged, as does the annual management fee of 0.65 per cent. The new benchmark index will be reviewed and reweighted every six months.
The CSI A500 index comprises 500 shares listed on the Shanghai or Shenzhen stock exchanges (known as A-shares). The shares come from companies with the largest market capitalisation in all sectors of the broad CSI All-Shares Index that meet certain criteria. Specifically, these criteria relate to characteristics such as quality and tradability. An ETF tracking this index offers investors the opportunity to invest in a well-diversified and representative manner in smaller dynamic companies as well as larger, partly state-owned companies in China. These are playing an increasingly important role in China's economic policy.
‘With the index change, we are seizing the opportunity to be the first European provider to offer a UCITS ETF on the CSI A500 Index, which is still young but already very popular in China,’ says Michael Mohr, Global Head of Xtrackers Product. ‘This strategy is a useful addition to our range of China equity ETFs, in which we currently manage an investment volume of more than €3.8 billion, making us one of the leading providers in Europe.’
