Xtrackers USD Corporate Green Bond UCITS ETF 2C

Xtrackers USD Corporate Green Bond UCITS ETF 2C is an exchange-traded fund (ETF) from Xtrackers, traded under the ticker XGBU (ISIN IE0003W9O921). One trade buys a whole basket of holdings, so your money is spread out instead of riding on a single company. In plain terms it is about lending to governments and companies in return for regular interest, which tends to be steadier than shares but grows more slowly, spread across its target market. Its largest holdings include FORD MOTOR COMPANY, FORD MOTOR COMPANY and JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. Spread across roughly 247 holdings (the ten largest ≈ 10.7%), no one position makes or breaks the fund. By geography it is weighted towards ~73.3% United States and ~0.8% Ireland. Its heaviest sectors are ~36.1% Financials and ~28.9% Utilities. Funds like this are often used as the steadier, lower-swing part of a portfolio — the ballast that cushions the ups and downs of shares. It holds the underlying investments directly (physical replication). Its price has swung about 21.9% over the past year — a gauge of how much the value moves, not a judgement of quality. As with any investment, its value can go down as well as up, and past performance is not a guide to future results. (Fund data sourced from Xtrackers.)
