The Xtrackers MDAX ESG Screened UCITS ETF 1D is an equity exchange-traded fund designed to track the performance of the MDAX® ESG Screened Index, which represents German mid-capitalization companies that comply with rigorous environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria. The fund employs full physical replication, investing directly in all the constituent stocks of the index, and applies exclusionary filters to omit companies involved in areas such as weapons, tobacco, thermal coal, oil sands, nuclear power, or those violating the UN Global Compact principles. This ETF stands out for its focus on sustainability without replacing excluded companies, thereby preserving the mid-cap German sector’s characteristics while promoting responsible investment standards. Its holdings are diversified across key sectors, including industrials, telecommunication, basic materials, and consumer discretionary, with the majority of assets concentrated in Germany. The fund distributes dividends annually, and its total expense ratio is 0.40% per annum. With over 100 million euros in assets under management, it offers investors focused exposure to the German “Mittelstand”—companies considered crucial to Germany’s economic fabric—while integrating ESG principles.
