Xtrackers II Italy Government Bond 0-1 Swap UCITS ETF 1C is an exchange-traded fund that seeks to track the FTSE Eurozone BOT Index. This index reflects the performance of short-maturity Italian government bonds known as BOT (Buoni Ordinari del Tesoro), which are zero-coupon instruments with initial maturities of up to 12 months. The ETF employs a synthetic replication strategy using unfunded swaps to mirror the index's total return, allowing investors exposure to this segment of the Eurozone sovereign debt market without directly holding the underlying bonds. It operates as an accumulating fund, reinvesting interest income back into the ETF to support compound growth. Domiciled in Luxembourg and compliant with UCITS regulations, the ETF provides a low-cost vehicle for accessing Italian short-term government securities, which are prized for their liquidity and role as a benchmark for very short-duration fixed income investments in Europe. Launched in 2012, it serves as a specialized tool within the broader government bond ETF landscape, focusing exclusively on this niche ultra-short maturity category.
