Xtrackers Repurposes EAFE ESG ETF Into Low-Cost Developed Markets Fund

Xtrackers will repurpose the Xtrackers MSCI EAFE Selection Equity ETF (EASG) into the Xtrackers Bloomberg Developed Markets ex US Equity ETF (DMXU) on or about September 16, 2026. The fund will switch from tracking an ESG-focused MSCI index to the Bloomberg Developed Markets ex US Core Markets Index, removing ESG screening in favor of broad developed-market exposure, including South Korea. The transition is expected to generate significant portfolio turnover, while the annual management fee will be reduced sharply from 0.14% to 0.03%, making the revamped ETF one of the lowest-cost options in its category.
