Description and fund objective

Xtrackers Eurozone Government Bond 1 3 UCITS ETF 1c tracks the issuer-declared index: Markit iBoxx EUR Eurozone (DE ES FR IT NL) 1-3 Index (EUR). The declared annual cost (TER) is 0.10%, plus 0.24% in transaction costs estimated by the issuer in the KID. Replication is physical replication (the KID declares buying all or a substantial number of the index constituents); income is accumulated and reinvested in the fund. The fund has assets of about 3.8 billion euro, was launched on 25 May 2007 and is domiciled in Luxembourg. In our registry it is the largest by assets among the 2 ETFs declaring the same index.

The fund’s objective — in the issuer’s words

The fund is passively managed.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE:The aim is for your investment to reflect the performance of the Markit iBoxx EUR Eurozone (DE ES FR IT NL) 1-3 Index (index).

DESCRIPTION OF INDEX:The index reflects the performance of tradable debt (bonds) denominated in Euro or pre-Euro currencies issued by governments of five Eurozone countries: France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands and Spain.

Keep reading the KID section ▾

The composition of the index is rebalanced according to a pre-set methodology. For bonds to be included in the index, they must, on the relevant rebalancing date, have a remaining time to maturity of at least one year and up to three years. The bonds must have a fixed rate of interest and must be part of an issue of debt which has at least €1 billion in principal outstanding.

INDEX REBALANCING, CALCULATION AND ADMINISTRATION:The index is calculated on a total return basis, which means that amounts equivalent to interest payments on the bonds are reinvested in the index. The index is administered by IHS Markit Benchmark Administration Limited and reviewed and rebalanced monthly.

INVESTMENT POLICY:To achieve the aim, the fund will attempt to replicate the index, before fees and expenses, by buying a portfolio of securities that may comprise the constituents of the index or other unrelated investments as determined by DWS entities. 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 derivatives. The fund may also engage in secured lending of its investments to certain eligible third parties to generate additional income to offset the costs of the fund. FURTHER INFORMATION: Certain information (including the latest share prices of the fund, indicative net asset values, full disclosure on the composition of the fund's portfolio and information on the index constituents) are available on your local DWS website or at www.Xtrackers.com. Transaction costs and taxes, unexpected fund costs and market conditions such as volatility or liquidity issues may affect the ability of the fund to track the index. The anticipated level of tracking error in normal market conditions is 1 per cent. The currency of the fund is EUR. Returns and gains are not distributed but are reinvested in the fund. You may request the redemption of shares generally on a daily basis.

Drawdown — distance from previous peak

This isn’t the return: it shows how far the fund is below its previous peak. 0% = you’re at the peak; below zero = how much you’re down and haven’t recovered yet.

Method and sources

Source: Xtrackers. Issuer-declared historical series; inflation: Eurostat and national statistical institutes, latest available August 2026 — for later days the index stays at the last published value (institutes publish with a few weeks’ lag). The «adjusted for inflation» view expresses value in today’s purchasing power for the selected country; volatility always stays nominal, as elsewhere on the site (deflating it would add artificial swings caused by the monthly cadence of the price index). Past performance is not indicative of future results: these are facts, not a recommendation.

Tracking difference — fund vs index

How much the fund returned above (+) or below (−) its index, year by year. It measures the actual deviation: the combined effect of costs (TER and transaction), securities-lending revenue and replication optimisations — which is why it can beat the TER. Tracking difference was positive in 0 of the last 10 calendar years: a past observation, not an indication of future outperformance.

Sharpe and Sortino use the ECB main refinancing rate averaged over the period (last year: 2.25%), weighted by days in force, as the risk-free rate.

Exchanges are taken from the official ESMA register (FIRDS) and, where FIRDS does not cover the exchange (London, Zurich) or does not record the current listing, from the issuers’ product lists and documents: the “Exchange source” column says so row by row. Each exchange is a single row, with all its markets and segments. Tickers come from the issuers’ product lists and tax documents or, where indicated, from ISIN→exchange mapping under the open FIGI standard (OpenFIGI). Activity on a dark book, an auction or an ancillary platform does not prove a listing on the exchange that operates it. Rebalix mainly covers venues in the European Economic Area, Switzerland and the United Kingdom: when the issuer declares current listings in other jurisdictions too, they appear with their source, outside the ESMA register perimeter. Terminated or cancelled listings are not shown. The same fund may trade in different currencies depending on the exchange: check the trading currency with your broker.
