Xtrackers Nikkei 225 UCITS ETF 2D EUR Hedged

Xtrackers Nikkei 225 UCITS ETF 2D EUR Hedged is an exchange-traded fund designed to provide investors with targeted exposure to the Japanese equity market. The fund seeks to replicate the performance of the Nikkei 225® (EUR Hedged) index, which comprises 225 of the most actively traded large-cap companies listed on the first section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange. By employing a physical replication strategy, the ETF holds all index constituents directly, ensuring close tracking of the benchmark’s return. A defining feature of this fund is its euro currency hedging, which aims to mitigate the impact of exchange rate fluctuations between the Japanese yen and the euro on returns, making it particularly appealing to euro-based investors seeking Japanese equity exposure without added currency risk. The portfolio spans diverse sectors, with notable allocations to electronic technology and industrial manufacturing, and distributes dividends annually. Launched in 2018 and domiciled in Luxembourg, the fund maintains UCITS compliance for regulatory standards and investor protection. With its annual total expense ratio of 0.19%, the ETF offers a cost-efficient vehicle for broad Japanese equity access in a euro-hedged format.
