Xtrackers MSCI Japan Climate Transition UCITS ETF 1D

Xtrackers MSCI Japan Climate Transition UCITS ETF 1D is an exchange-traded fund designed to provide targeted exposure to Japanese equities, with a particular emphasis on climate transition and sustainability criteria. The fund tracks the MSCI Japan Select Sustainability Screened CTB index, which comprises a basket of Japanese companies selected and weighted based on their sustainability practices and alignment with EU climate transition benchmarks. This ensures that the portfolio reflects companies striving for lower carbon emissions and robust ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) standards. The ETF employs full physical replication, meaning it directly holds all the underlying securities of the index. It distributes dividends on a quarterly basis and is structured to meet UCITS (Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities) regulatory standards, offering investors high levels of transparency and investor protection. The fund’s strategy is long-only and unhedged for currency risk, making it directly sensitive to movements in the Japanese yen against other currencies. With a low total expense ratio of 0.04% per annum and a relatively focused portfolio of approximately 115 holdings, this ETF plays a role in portfolios seeking sustainable growth opportunities in Japan while aligning with global climate transition objectives.
