Description

Xtrackers Germany Government Bond UCITS ETF 1d tracks the issuer-declared index: IBOXX® EURO GERMANY TR INDEX (EUR). The declared annual cost (TER) is 0.15%, plus 0.00% 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 distributed to investors. The fund has assets of about 916 million euro, was launched on 5 January 2010 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 IBOXX € GERMANY® Index (index).

DESCRIPTION OF INDEX:The index reflects certain types of tradable debt (bonds) denominated in Euro or pre-Euro currencies issued by the German government. The composition of the index is rebalanced according to a pre-set methodology. For bonds to be included in the index on a monthly rebalancing date, they must, on the relevant rebalancing date, have a remaining time to maturity of at least one year.

Keep reading the KID section ▾

INDEX REBALANCING, CALCULATION AND ADMINISTRATION:The index is calculated on a total return basis, which means that amounts equivalent to interest payments 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. The fund distributes up to four times per annum. You may request the redemption of shares generally on a daily basis.

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.
Issuer-declared series with dividends reinvested: the total performance, comparable with accumulating funds. Switch it off to see the price (NAV) alone, which drops at every dividend payment.
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 0 of the last 10 calendar years: a past observation, not an indication of future outperformance.
