Xtrackers MSCI World Swap UCITS ETF 1D

Xtrackers MSCI World Swap UCITS ETF 1D is an exchange-traded fund (ETF) from Xtrackers, traded under the ticker XWD1 (ISIN LU2263803533). 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 broadly across markets worldwide. Rather than a manager picking stocks, it simply replicates the MSCI Total Return Net World Index index — the passive, low-cost approach, and its largest holdings include AMAZON COM INC, NVIDIA CORP and SANDISK CORP. Spread across roughly 571 holdings (the ten largest ≈ 31%), no one position makes or breaks the fund. Its biggest country exposures are ~59.6% United States, ~10% Japan and ~5.7% Germany. By industry it concentrates most in ~35% Technology and ~12.7% Financials. 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 0.19% a year — about €19 a year on a €10,000 holding, taken automatically from the fund. Income such as dividends is paid out to you as cash (a distributing share class). 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 5 out of 7 and its price has swung about 11.4% over the past year — a gauge of how much the value moves, not a judgement of quality. It launched in 2021. 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.)
