Xtrackers II iBoxx Eurozone Government Bond Yield Plus 1-3 UCITS ETF 1C

Xtrackers II iBoxx Eurozone Government Bond Yield Plus 1-3 UCITS ETF 1C is a bond-focused exchange-traded fund that aims to mirror the performance of the Markit iBoxx EUR Sovereigns Eurozone Yield Plus 1-3 Index. This ETF invests primarily in euro-denominated government bonds issued by Eurozone countries, with maturities spanning one to three years, selecting those with comparatively higher yields within the eligible universe. By focusing on short to medium-term sovereign debt, the fund provides exposure to a diversified pool of government issuers, with Italy and Spain often comprising significant portions due to their higher-yielding bond markets. The fund’s structure employs physical replication, meaning it directly holds the constituent securities, and it operates on an accumulating basis, reinvesting any income received from bond coupons. With a competitive total expense ratio of 0.15% per annum and a fund size exceeding 200 million euros, it serves as a liquidity-efficient vehicle for investors aiming to access eurozone government bond yields while managing duration and credit risk associated with the region’s sovereign issuers. The ETF is unhedged with respect to currency, as its assets and reporting are both in euros, reflecting the index's direct returns.
