Five new Deutsche Bank exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have been tradable in the XTF segment since Thursday. The securities are based on short and dividend strategies, as well as on the FTSE 100.
The db x-trackers SHORTDAX ETF tracks the performance of the ShortDAX. The index, which is calculated by Deutsche Boerse, is inversely linked to movements on the DAX.
“This index means that Deutsche Boerse is the first index provider in Europe to offer investors an effective short strategy in index form,” says Hartmut Graf, head of issuer data & analytics for Deutsche Bank.
Investors can pursue the same strategy with the db x-trackers DJ Euro STOXX 50 Short ETF, which tracks the performance of the DJ Euro STOXX 50 Short Index. The DJ Euro STOXX 50 Index includes the stocks of 50 euro-zone companies that are leaders in their respective sectors.
The db x-trackers DJ Euro STOXX Select Dividend 30 ETF tracks the performance of the DJ Euro STOXX Select Dividend 30 Index. The index comprises 30 equities and covers the highest-yield stocks in relation to their domestic market within the euro zone.
Investors can use the db x-trackers DJ STOXX Global Select Dividend 100 ETF to participate in the performance of the DJ STOXX Global Select Dividend 100. The index comprises the 100 highest-yield equities in the DJ STOXX Global 1800 index.
Finally, the db x-trackers FTSE 100 ETF gives investors the opportunity to benefit from the performance of the FTSE 100. The index comprises the 100 largest companies in the United Kingdom.
