Xtrackers S&P 500 Swap II UCITS ETF 1C

Xtrackers S&P 500 Swap II UCITS ETF 1C is an exchange-traded fund designed to mirror the performance of the S&P 500 Index, which represents 500 of the largest publicly traded U.S. companies across all major industries. This ETF utilizes a synthetic, or swap-based, replication method, meaning it does not directly hold the underlying equities but instead enters into swap agreements to achieve index returns. Dividends paid by constituent companies are not distributed to investors but are instead accumulated and reinvested within the fund, supporting a compounding effect. The fund is organized under Irish law as a variable capital company and is compliant with the UCITS regulatory framework, offering robust investor protections and cross-border accessibility within Europe. With a competitively low total expense ratio of 0.04% per annum, this ETF provides cost-efficient exposure to the U.S. large-cap equity market. It is passively managed and unhedged for currency risk, meaning returns may fluctuate in line with both the underlying equity performance and movements between the U.S. dollar and the fund’s trading currency. Xtrackers S&P 500 Swap II UCITS ETF 1C serves as a core building block for diversified portfolios seeking broad access to U.S. large-cap growth and value stocks.
