With the Xtrackers Corporate Green Bond UCITS ETFs, investors participate in the performance of green bonds denominated in US dollars or euros issued by companies or public authorities with an investment grade rating.
Green bonds are debt instruments issued to finance projects with direct environmental benefits.

Companies with business activities in the areas of tobacco, weapons, power plant coal or oil sands are excluded from the index.
For bonds denominated in US dollars, investors can also choose a share class with currency hedging against the euro.
The Xtrackers MSCI Europe Consumer Discretionary ESG Screened UCITS ETF 1C provides investors with access to large and mid-cap companies in the consumer discretionary sector from 15 developed countries. Cyclical consumer goods include goods and services that can be dispensed with in difficult economic times, such as cars, clothing, leisure goods or household durables.
