Xtrackers Files ETF Offering 50% Currency-Hedged EAFE Exposure

The Xtrackers MSCI EAFE 50% Hedged Equity ETF will track the MSCI EAFE 50% Hedged to USD Index. The fund provides exposure to large- and mid-cap developed-market stocks across 21 countries outside the U.S. and Canada while hedging approximately half of its foreign currency exposure to the U.S. dollar. Using a primarily full-replication approach, the ETF aims to reduce currency-driven volatility without eliminating diversification benefits from overseas markets. The index currently has significant exposure to Japan, the U.K., financials, and industrials.
