The fund, which belongs to the Xtrackers II range, had been admitted to trading on Deutsche Börse the previous day, 28 April 2026.
It is a physically replicating ETF that aims to reflect the performance of the FTSE World Government Bond Index – Developed Markets, calculated in euros and on a total return basis (with coupon payments reinvested). The index, administered by FTSE Fixed Income LLC and reviewed monthly, consists solely of fixed-rate government bonds issued in local currency by developed-country governments, with an investment-grade rating and at least one year to maturity. The main issuers include the United States, Japan, France and Germany.
The product is structured as a distributing share class (“4D”) and has a Total Expense Ratio (TER) of 0.20% per annum. The objective stated in the prospectus is to replicate the index before fees and expenses by buying a portfolio of securities that may include the index constituents or other instruments selected by the management company. To manage risk, reduce costs and improve results, the fund may employ techniques and financial instruments, including derivatives, and may lend the securities held in the portfolio to selected third parties, generating additional income intended to offset the fund’s costs.
With this listing, DWS further expands its range of low-cost bond ETFs on the London market. In recent weeks the firm has also listed four equity ETFs in London (Xtrackers FTSE All-World UCITS ETF, Xtrackers FTSE All-World ex US UCITS ETF, Xtrackers MSCI World IMI UCITS ETF and Xtrackers Electrification Technologies & Smart Grid UCITS ETF), as well as two active global ETFs (Xtrackers Global Equity Top Active UCITS ETF and Xtrackers Global Growth Leaders Active UCITS ETF). The Xtrackers II Global Government Bond UCITS ETF 4D fits into this strategy by offering investors broad, diversified exposure to developed-market sovereign debt at a competitive management cost.
