Xtrackers MSCI EM Asia Screened Swap UCITS ETF 1D

Xtrackers MSCI EM Asia Screened Swap UCITS ETF 1D is an exchange-traded fund (ETF) from Xtrackers, traded under the ticker XMA1 (ISIN LU2296661775). In a single purchase you get a diversified basket of holdings rather than a stake in just one business. 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 MSCI Emerging Markets Asia Select Screened Index index — the passive, low-cost approach, and its largest holdings include MICROSOFT CORP, INTEL CORPORATION CORP and BROADCOM INC. Spread across roughly 125 holdings (the ten largest ≈ 33.5%), no one position makes or breaks the fund. By geography it is weighted towards ~81.7% United States, ~9.5% Japan and ~2.6% Germany. By industry it concentrates most in ~36.2% Technology and ~16.3% Industrials. It is commonly used to tilt a portfolio towards one market, usually alongside broader, more global funds rather than on its own. 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 6 out of 7 and its price has swung about 25.1% 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.)
