Lyxor 1 EURO STOXX 50 (DR) UCITS ETF (E950.F) is a UCITS-compliant, open-end exchange-traded fund that tracks the performance of the EURO STOXX 50 index, which comprises the 50 largest companies in the eurozone by market capitalization across sectors including financials, industrials, consumer discretionary, information technology, and materials; the fund employs a full physical replication strategy without securities lending. Originally issued by Lyxor Asset Management, founded in 1998 and headquartered at 17 Cours Valmy in Paris La Défense, France, the ETF is listed primarily on the Xetra exchange in Germany under ISIN DE000ETF9504 and provides exposure to key holdings such as ASML Holding NV, LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton SE, Linde PLC, TotalEnergies SE, and Sanofi SA. It targets institutional and retail investors seeking eurozone large-cap equity exposure, with operations focused on European markets including Germany, France, Netherlands, Spain, and Italy.
In 2021, Amundi acquired Lyxor Asset Management from Société Générale for €825 million, establishing Amundi as the parent entity and initiating a comprehensive rebranding and consolidation of Lyxor ETFs into Amundi-branded products. Recent major changes include multiple mergers of Lyxor ETFs into Amundi equivalents, such as the Lyxor Core EURO STOXX 50 (DR) merging into Amundi EURO STOXX 50, alongside rebranding nearly 40 Lyxor ETFs in the Multi Units France SICAV and ongoing product range reviews to enhance economies of scale, with specific commodity and overnight return ETF mergers completed in 2024 and early 2025. These strategic shifts, including switches to climate-aligned benchmarks in select funds and TER adjustments, reflect Amundi's post-acquisition efforts to streamline offerings while maintaining UCITS compliance and investor access across European exchanges.
