Xtrackers Dax ESG Screened UCITS ETF 2C USD Hedged

Xtrackers Dax ESG Screened UCITS ETF 2C USD Hedged is an exchange-traded fund (ETF) from Xtrackers, traded under the ticker 0HDC (ISIN LU1221100792). 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. Rather than a manager picking stocks, it simply replicates the DAX ESG Screened Index index — the passive, low-cost approach, and its largest holdings include ALLIANZ, SIEMENS N AG and SAP. With about 37 holdings (the ten largest ≈ 71.1%), your money is diversified rather than concentrated in a handful of names. Geographically it leans ~99.3% Germany, ~0.7% Netherlands and ~0% Ireland. Its heaviest sectors are ~28.1% Financials and ~19.1% Technology. It is commonly used to tilt a portfolio towards one market, usually alongside broader, more global funds rather than on its own. Its ongoing charge (TER) is 0.19% a year — about €19 a year on a €10,000 holding, taken automatically from the fund. It is an accumulating share class: dividends are rolled straight back in, compounding your returns rather than landing in your account as cash. 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 USD. On the standard KID risk scale it is rated 6 out of 7 and its price has swung about 15.6% over the past year — a gauge of how much the value moves, not a judgement of quality. It launched in 2016. Like any investment, it can lose value as well as gain, and what it did before does not predict what it will do next. (Fund data sourced from Xtrackers.)
