New Xtrackers ETFs on Xetra: government bonds with investment grade rating and ESG filter

Two new exchange traded funds issued by Xtrackers have been tradable on Xetra and Börse Frankfurt since Tuesday. 

The Xtrackers II ESG Global Government Bond UCITS ETF – 1D invests in investment-grade fixed-income debt securities issued in local currency by governments in developed countries, excluding countries that do not meet certain ESG criteria.  

Based on a country specific ESG score, countries with a better ESG performance are overweighted and those with a worse one are underweighted. In addition, a country must be rated as “free” by the non-profit organisation “Freedom House”. 

Investors investing in Xtrackers II ESG Global Government Bond UCITS ETF – 4D – EUR Hedged minimise currency risks against the Euro. 

In both share classes, accruing coupon payments are distributed to the investors.
