Xtrackers MSCI Fintech Innovation UCITS ETF

The fund is passively managed. The aim is for your investment to track the performance before fees and expenses of the MSCI ACWI IMI Fintech Innovation Select ESG Screened 100 Index.

The index is based on the MSCI ACWI IMI Index (Parent Index) and is designed to reflect the performance of the shares of large, medium, and small-capitalisation companies globally that derive significant revenues from technological innovation in the financial sector. In order to be eligible for inclusion in the index, companies must be eligible for inclusion in the Parent Index and pass both thematic selection criteria and ESG screening criteria. The thematic selection criteria calculates a relevance score for potential constituents by assessing companies’ exposure to business activities associated with the theme. Securities must meet a certain relevance score threshold to be eligible for inclusion. The ESG screening criteria excludes companies from the Parent Index, which: (i) are unrated by MSCI ESG Research; (ii) are assigned an MSCI ESG Rating of CCC; (iii) have any involvement in controversial weapons; (iv) are classified by MSCI in their Business Involvement Screening Research as breaching certain revenue thresholds in controversial activities, including, but not limited to, tobacco, conventional weapons, nuclear weapons, civilian firearms, thermal coal and oil sands extraction; and/or (v) fail to comply with the United Nations Global Compact principles. The remaining securities are then ranked by their market capitalisation and the top 100 are selected for inclusion. Securities are finally weighted by a product of their free-float adjusted market capitalisation and their relevance score. The index includes an issuer capping component, limiting the weight of each issuer to 4.5% at each quarterly rebalance. The index is administered by MSCI Limited. The index is calculated on a total return net basis, which means that all dividends and distributions by the companies are reinvested in the shares after tax. The index is reviewed semi-annually and rebalanced at least quarterly. The index is calculated in USD on a daily basis. To achieve the aim, the fund will attempt to replicate the index, before fees and expenses, by buying all or a substantial number of the securities in the index. The fund may employ techniques and instruments in order to manage risk, reduce costs and improve results. These techniques and instruments may include the use of financial contracts (derivatives). The fund may also engage in secured lending of its investments to certain eligible third parties subject to certain ESG criteria to generate additional income to offset the costs of the fund. The currency of the fund is USD. Returns and gains are not distributed but are reinvested in the fund.
