- Xtrackers MSCI EAFE High Dividend Yield Equity ETF (HDEF) is an exchange-traded fund that seeks to track the performance, before fees and expenses, of the MSCI EAFE High Dividend Yield Index. The fund employs a full replication strategy, investing at least 80% of its net assets in component securities of the underlying index, which comprises high dividend yield equities from developed markets in Europe, Australasia and the Far East (ex-North America), selected based on quality and dividend factors; top holdings include Novartis AG, Roche Holding AG, Allianz SE, Shell plc and Unilever PLC. Launched on August 12, 2015, and domiciled in the United States, HDEF is issued by DBX ETF Trust and managed by DWS Investment Management Americas, Inc., a subsidiary of DWS Group headquartered in Frankfurt, Germany, with U.S. operations based in Boston, Massachusetts. As of late 2025, the ETF manages approximately $2.1 billion in assets, features an expense ratio of 0.09% and delivers a trailing twelve-month dividend yield around 3.85%. In recent developments, DWS, the parent entity behind Xtrackers, launched its first active ETF, the Xtrackers RREEF Global Real Estate ETF (NRES), in February 2024, marking a strategic expansion into actively-managed products alongside its passive offerings; additionally, DWS formed partnerships including a joint acquisition of Italy's Grandi Stazioni Retail with OMERS Infrastructure in August 2024 and a memorandum of understanding with Al Mirqab Capital in November 2025 for a German Opportunities Mandate. HDEF targets institutional and retail investors seeking exposure to value-oriented, high-yield international equities outside North America, with geographic focus on key developed markets such as Switzerland, Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Spain and Japan.
