Description

Xtrackers Shortdax Daily Swap UCITS ETF 1c tracks the issuer-declared index: SHORTDAX® DAILY INDEX (EUR). The declared annual cost (TER) is 0.40%, plus 0.00% in transaction costs estimated by the issuer in the KID. Replication is synthetic replication via a swap contract, as the KID declares; income is accumulated and reinvested in the fund. The fund has assets of about 173 million euro, was launched on 5 June 2007 and is domiciled in Luxembourg.

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 ShortDAX® Index (index) which provides the opposite performance of the DAX® index (Underlying Index) plus a rate of interest.
DESCRIPTION OF INDEX:This means the level of the index should rise when the Underlying index falls and fall when the Underlying Index rises on a daily basis.
Keep reading the KID section ▾
The interest rate added to the index level is based on double the rate at which banks in the Eurozone lend to each other on an overnight basis (as calculated by the European Central Bank) earned on the short position. The Underlying Index reflects the performance of the shares of 40 of the largest German companies (from any business sector) on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange which meet the applicable eligibility criteria. To be included on the Underlying Index, a company’s readily available shares must be listed and continuously traded on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, and show a free float portion of at least 10% and meet order book turnover requirements on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange within the preceding 12 months.
INDEX REBALANCING, CALCULATION AND ADMINISTRATION:The Underlying Index is weighted in favour of larger companies and is reviewed and rebalanced quarterly. At each review, the combined value of a company’s readily available shares cannot exceed 15% of the combined value of the shares comprising the Underlying Index. As from 23 September 2024, should any individual company within the index reach a weight of 20% intra-quarter, the index will be re-balanced intra-quarter such that the individual company will be re-weighted to 15%. The index is calculated on a gross total return basis which means that all dividends and distributions are reinvested in the shares on a gross basis.
INVESTMENT POLICY:To achieve the aim, the fund will enter into financial contracts (derivatives) with one or more swap counterparties to swap most subscription proceeds for the return on the index. 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.

From month-end NAVs, over the fund’s full history, on the series shown in the chart (dividends reinvested where declared). Deeper colour = larger move.

Source: Xtrackers. Issuer-declared historical series; inflation: Eurostat and national statistical institutes, latest available July 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 — issuer-declared

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 2 of the last 3 calendar years: a past observation, not an indication of future outperformance.
