Description

Xtrackers Msci China A UCITS ETF 1c tracks the issuer-declared index: MSCI China A Inclusion Index (USD). The declared annual cost (TER) is 0.35%, plus 0.11% 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 115 million euro, was launched on 19 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 MSCI China A Inclusion Index (index).
DESCRIPTION OF INDEX:The index is designed to reflect the performance of certain shares of large and medium capitalisation Chinese companies listed on onshore exchanges such as on the Shanghai and Shenzhen exchanges (A-Shares) and accessible through the Stock Connect framework.
Keep reading the KID section ▾
Only Chinese company A shares which are included in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index are eligible for inclusion.
INDEX REBALANCING, CALCULATION AND ADMINISTRATION:The composition of the index is reviewed at least quarterly. The index is calculated on a total return net basis which means that all dividends and distributions of the companies are reinvested in the shares after tax.
INVESTMENT POLICY: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 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 2 per cent. The currency of the fund is USD. 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 — 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 2 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: 2.21%), weighted by days in force, as the risk-free rate. Same formulas as our public methodology: sample standard deviation annualised over 252 days; Sortino with downside deviation. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
