LONDON - Xtrackers, an investment company with variable capital, has announced upcoming changes to the names of the reference indexes for several of its exchange-traded funds (ETFs), as informed by MSCI Limited, the index administrator. The modifications will take effect on February 3, 2025, and involve the removal of the "ESG Screened" label from the current index names.
The affected ETFs cover a range of sectors and regions, including Canada, Europe, the Pacific ex Japan, Emerging Markets Asia, and China A, with specific funds focused on financials, materials, consumer staples, health care, industrials, information technology, communication services, utilities, and Chinese technology.
The investment objectives, policies, risk profiles, and fees for each ETF will remain the same, and they will continue to adhere to the disclosure requirements of a financial product under Article 8(1) of the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR).
Revised documentation reflecting these changes, including the prospectus and key investor information documents for each sub-fund, will be available on the company's website around the effective date. Shareholders seeking clarity on these updates or their implications are advised to consult with their financial advisors. The company has also noted that these products are not subject to UK sustainable investment labeling and disclosure requirements.
