Xtrackers ETF gives access to investments in key emerging markets excluding China after index change

8/8/2024

  • DWS responds to demand for more regionally differentiated products

  • Xtrackers MSCI Emerging Markets ex China UCITS ETF comprises companies from 23 emerging markets with a focus on Taiwan, India, South Korea and Brazil

  • The all-in-fee falls to 0.16%

With the Xtrackers MSCI Emerging Markets ex China UCITS ETF, investors have the opportunity to invest in the most important emerging markets with the exception of China. The ETF thus meets investor demand for more regionally differentiated investments. China has the largest weighting in the original MSCI Emerging Markets index at around 25 percent. In the MSCI Emerging Markets ex China Index, both Taiwan and India are weighted at 25 percent, South Korea at 16 percent and Brazil at 5%.

With effect from July 31, the ETF will change its benchmark index, previously the MSCI Emerging Markets Select ESG Screened Index was tracked. From now on, the ETF aims to track the MSCI Emerging Markets ex China Index. As before, almost all shares in the index will be purchased for this purpose and the index will continue to be replicated physically. The ETF will continue to be traded on the London Stock Exchange and the Milan Stock Exchange and is listed on the German Stock Exchange as of today. While the ISIN (IE00BM67HJ62) will remain unchanged with the index and name change, the all-in-fee will fall from 0.18% to 0.16%.

"The countries in the Emerging Markets Index account for a dynamically growing share of global economic output. As a result, the demand for regionally differentiated investments in these growth regions is also increasing," says Simon Klein, Global Head of Xtrackers Sales.

Investor interest in investments with a regionally differentiated structure increased in 2024. This is shown, for example, by inflows into ETFs based on indices that invest in the global equity markets of industrialized countries with the exception of the USA. The weighting of US equities in global portfolios has risen significantly in recent years due to their strong performance.
