DWS Lowers Fees For 31 ETFs And A Gold ETC

The products in question are 31 Xtrackers bond and equity ETFs and one Xtrackers gold ETC. The firm said the reduction is part of the "ongoing optimisation and forward-looking orientation" of the broader Xtrackers range of products.

DWS will lower the annual flat fee for the Xtrackers IE Physical Gold ETC Securities - which allows investors to participate in the performance of gold - from o.12% to 0.11%.

The ETC currently has around €2.8bn in assets, and DWS said investor interest in gold has increased over the last few weeks due to geopolitical risks.

The largest equity ETF to have its annual fee reduced is the €1.8bn Xtrackers MSCI Japan UCITS ETF 1C, with the annual flat fee lowered to 0.12% from 0.2% alongside the Xtrackers MSCI Brazil UCITS ETF 1C (from 0.65% to 0.25%) and the Xtrackers MSCI Korea UCITS ETF 1C (from 0.65% to 0.45%).

On the bond ETF front, the largest products to have their fees reduced are the Xtrackers II Eurozone Convertible Bond UCITS ETF 1C (from 0.15% to 0.09%) and the Xtrackers II US Treasuries UCITS ETF 1D (from 0.07% to 0.06%), with each having more than €1bn in assets.
