Description

Xtrackers S P 500 2x Leveraged Daily Swap UCITS ETF 1c tracks the issuer-declared index: S&P 500 2X LEVERAGED DAILY INDEX (USD). The declared annual cost (TER) is 0.60%, 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 550 million euro, was launched on 18 March 2010 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 S&P 500 2x Leveraged Daily Index (index) which provides two times the performance of the S&P 500 Index (Underlying Index) on a daily basis less a rate of interest.

DESCRIPTION OF INDEX:This means that the level of the index should rise and fall at double the rate of the Underlying Index.

Keep reading the KID section ▾

The interest rate taken from the Reference Index level is based on the rate at which institutions can borrow US dollars overnight while posting US Treasury bonds as collateral (SOFR) plus a fixed spread of 0.02963%. The Underlying Index is designed to reflect the performance of shares of 500 companies representing all major US industries and comprises shares of large companies traded on certain eligible US exchanges. A company’s weighting in the Underlying Index depends on its relative size based on the combined value of a company’s readily available shares compared to other companies on the stock markets.

INDEX REBALANCING, CALCULATION AND ADMINISTRATION: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."

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 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 — 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 0 of the last 5 calendar years: a past observation, not an indication of future outperformance.
