Xtrackers Russell 2000 UCITS ETF 1C

Xtrackers Russell 2000 UCITS ETF 1C is an exchange-traded fund designed to closely track the performance of the Russell 2000 Index, which represents approximately 2,000 small-cap companies in the United States across diverse sectors. The ETF achieves its objective through physical replication, meaning it holds the actual underlying stocks in proportions matching the index. Launched in March 2015 and domiciled in Ireland, this fund has developed into one of the largest Russell 2000 ETFs available in Europe, with assets approaching EUR 1.7 billion. It employs an accumulating structure, automatically reinvesting dividends to enhance long-term growth potential for holders. With a competitive annual expense ratio of 0.30%, it offers investors an efficient, cost-effective method for gaining diversified exposure to US small-cap equities—an asset class known for its growth orientation and sensitivity to domestic economic trends. This ETF serves as a key tool for portfolio diversification and for targeting the dynamic segment of US small- and mid-sized firms, balancing potential higher returns with increased volatility relative to large-cap benchmarks.
