Xtrackers ETFs to undergo name change in May

LONDON - Xtrackers, an investment company with variable capital based in Luxembourg, has announced that two of its exchange-traded funds (ETFs) will undergo a name change effective May 14, 2025. The Xtrackers World Green Transition Innovators UCITS ETF will be renamed Xtrackers World Green Tech Innovators UCITS ETF, and the Xtrackers World Small Cap Green Transition Innovators UCITS ETF will become Xtrackers World Small Cap Green Tech Innovators UCITS ETF.

The Board of Directors of Xtrackers stated that despite the change in names, the investment objectives, risk profiles, and fees for each sub-fund will remain the same. Additionally, both sub-funds will continue to fulfill the disclosure requirements of a financial product under Article 8(1) of the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR).

Shareholders of the sub-funds can expect to access copies of the revised prospectus and the key investor information document, which will reflect the name changes, on the Xtrackers website around the effective date of the change. These documents will also be available upon request at the registered office of Xtrackers or at the offices of foreign representatives.

The company advises shareholders who have any questions or require clarification to seek advice from their stockbroker, bank manager, legal advisor, accountant, or other independent financial advisors. Shareholders are also recommended to consult their own professional advisors to understand the specific tax implications under the laws of the countries of their nationality, residence, domicile, or incorporation.

Xtrackers has highlighted that its products are based overseas and are not subject to UK sustainable investment labelling and disclosure requirements. For further information on UK sustainability labelling and disclosure requirements, shareholders can refer to the UK Financial Conduct Authority’s website.

The announcement is based on a press release statement from Xtrackers.
