ETF explosion: More choice and opportunities for smart investors!
On March 15, 2025, finanzen.net reported on various providers in the ETF market, including DWS, Xtrackers, Amundi, Fidelity, Invesco, WisdomTree, Aberdeen Standard Investments, abrdn Investments, American Century Investment Management and ARK Investment Management LLC. These providers use a variety of benchmark indices such as DAX, EuroStoxx50, MDAX, MSCI Emerging Markets, S&P 500, Nasdaq 100 and Nikkei 225.
The available asset classes span stock indices, alternative investments, money market, real estate, bonds, foreign exchange and commodities. Investors can also invest in different currencies, including AUD, CAD, CHF, CNY, EUR, GBP, HKD, JPY, MXN, NZD, SEK, SGD and USD. The volume categories vary from under 5 million to over 5000 million, while the total expense ratio (TER) is divided into categories from up to 0.15% to over 0.75%. The ETFs are available in both accumulating and distributing versions, and long and short strategies are available.
Xtrackers and their ETF offers
DWS also provided information about the Xtrackers ETFs. These ETFs offer low-cost options with a low flat fee starting at 0.06%. They are based on major stock or bond market indices and use physical replication. In addition, there are special ESG ETFs that provide access to indices that meet environmental, social and governance criteria. These products favor companies with lower carbon emissions, both in bonds and stocks.
Another segment is emerging markets ETFs, which allow investors to invest in emerging markets. The first Xtrackers China ETF was launched in 2007, followed by the first Chinese A-share ETF in 2010. Currency-hedged ETFs help efficiently manage currency risk and are available in stocks, bonds and commodities. The share classes are available in EUR, GBP, USD and CHF.
Strategic Beta ETFs aim for higher, risk-adjusted returns, while commodity ETFs provide a range of Exchange Traded Commodities (ETCs) for precious metals such as gold and silver. These ETCs are backed by physical metal and provide broad index representation while retaining the risk of fluctuations in value and losses, such as etf.dws.com reported.
