Xtrackers Euro Stoxx 50 UCITS ETF 1D

Xtrackers Euro Stoxx 50 UCITS ETF 1D is an exchange-traded fund (ETF) from Xtrackers, traded under the ticker XESX (ISIN LU0274211217). 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 owning small slices of companies, so you share in their growth when they do well — and their falls when they don't, spread across its target market. It passively tracks the Euro STOXX 50 index — mirroring that market instead of paying a manager to pick winners, which keeps costs low, and its largest holdings include ASML HOLDING NV, SIEMENS N AG and BANCO SANTANDER SA. Spread across roughly 55 holdings (the ten largest ≈ 41.4%), no one position makes or breaks the fund. Its biggest country exposures are ~29.8% France, ~28.6% Germany and ~19.1% Netherlands. Its heaviest sectors are ~26.7% Financials and ~21.7% Industrials. Funds like this are commonly chosen by investors who want a regular cash income stream rather than reinvesting everything for growth. Its ongoing charge (TER) is 0.09% a year — about €9 a year on a €10,000 holding, taken automatically from the fund. It is a distributing share class — dividends are paid to you as cash rather than reinvested. It holds the underlying investments directly (physical replication); it is domiciled in Luxembourg and UCITS-regulated, a European standard built to protect everyday investors and trades in EUR. On the standard KID risk scale it is rated 6 out of 7 and its price has swung about 15.7% over the past year, which describes how much its price tends to move rather than whether it is good. It launched in 2007. 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.)
