The Xtrackers MSCI World ex USA UCITS ETF 1C (EXUS) is an Ireland-domiciled equity ETF managed by DWS under the Xtrackers brand and traded on the London Stock Exchange.

The fund seeks to track the performance of the MSCI World ex USA Index, a benchmark composed of large- and mid-cap companies across developed markets excluding the United States.

EXUS provides international equity exposure to developed markets outside the United States, including companies across Europe, Japan, Canada, Australia, and other economies. The ETF follows a passive investment strategy and uses direct physical replication to track its benchmark. It operates under the UCITS framework and follows an accumulating income policy.

The MSCI World ex USA Index includes large- and mid-cap stocks across 22 developed markets, excluding the United States. The benchmark covers approximately 85% of the free-float-adjusted market capitalization in each country, with constituent weights based on free-float-adjusted market capitalization.

Composition / Exposure Profile

EXUS holds companies across a broad range of sectors in developed economies, including:

• Financials.

• Industrials.

• Information technology.

• Health care.

• Consumer discretionary.

• Consumer staples.

• Materials.

• Communication services.

• Energy.

• Utilities.

• Real estate.

The fund's major geographic exposures include Japan, the United Kingdom, Canada, France, Switzerland, Germany, Australia, the Netherlands, and other developed markets outside the United States.

Because the benchmark is weighted by free-float-adjusted market capitalization, larger companies account for greater portions of the portfolio. Excluding the United States also results in a geographic and sector allocation that differs from developed-market global indexes that include U.S. equities.

Structure and Costs

EXUS trades on the London Stock Exchange and has the U.S. dollar as its base currency. The fund also has listings on other European exchanges.

The ETF has an ongoing charges figure of 0.15% per year and uses direct physical replication. It is domiciled in Ireland, operates under the UCITS framework, and is part of Xtrackers (IE) plc.

EXUS is an accumulating share class, meaning dividends and other income generated by its holdings are reinvested within the fund rather than distributed periodically to shareholders.
