Description and fund objective

Xtrackers S P 500 Swap UCITS ETF 1c tracks the issuer-declared index: S&P 500 INDEX (USD). The declared annual cost (TER) is 0.15%, plus 0.00% in transaction costs estimated by the issuer in the KID. Income is accumulated and reinvested in the fund. The fund has assets of about 8.6 billion euro, was launched on 26 March 2010 and is domiciled in Luxembourg. In our registry it is the largest by assets among the 4 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 S&P 500 Index (index) which is designed to reflect the performance of shares of 500 companies representing all major US industries.

Keep reading the KID section ▾

DESCRIPTION OF INDEX:The index contains shares of large companies traded on certain eligible US exchanges. A company’s weighting in the index depends on its relative size based on the combined value of a company’s readily available shares as compared to other companies on the stock markets.

INDEX REBALANCING, CALCULATION AND ADMINISTRATION:The index is administered by Standard & Poor's. 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 invest in transferable securities and enter into financial contracts (derivatives) with one or more counterparties relating to the transferable securities and the net or gross total return version of the index (swap index), in order to obtain the return on the swap index. The gross total return version of the index calculates the performance of the stocks assuming that all dividends and distributions are reinvested on a gross basis. The swap index shall be selected in the absolute discretion of the Investment Manager. 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.

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 10 of the last 10 calendar years: a past observation, not an indication of future outperformance.

Computed from the daily NAV series, always in nominal terms. 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. 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. Figures in EUR — series converted day by day at ECB reference rates; the table follows the currency selected in the chart.

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.
