Xtrackers S&P 500 Equal Weight Scored & Screened UCITS ETF 1C

Xtrackers S&P 500 Equal Weight Scored & Screened UCITS ETF 1C is an exchange-traded fund that tracks the S&P 500 Equal Weight Scored & Screened Index, offering diversified exposure to large U.S. companies selected and equally weighted based on rigorous ESG criteria. Unlike traditional market-cap weighted funds, it assigns equal importance to each constituent, reducing concentration risk and elevating the influence of mid-sized firms within the S&P 500 universe. The index targets the top 60% of companies in each GICS industry group according to S&P Global ESG Scores, while excluding those involved in controversial activities, violating United Nations Global Compact principles, or underperforming on ESG metrics relative to peers. Employing full physical replication, the ETF directly holds these securities and follows an accumulating distribution policy, reinvesting dividends to compound returns. Domiciled in Ireland and managed by Xtrackers, a division of DWS, it manages over €1.3 billion in assets, underscoring its prominence in sustainable investing. This ETF serves investors pursuing broad U.S. equity market participation integrated with environmental, social, and governance considerations, promoting responsible and balanced portfolio construction across sectors like industrials, financials, and technology.
