Xtrackers Nifty 500 India ETF (IND) is an exchange-traded fund that seeks investment results corresponding generally to the performance, before fees and expenses, of the Nifty 500 Index. The underlying index measures the equity performance of the top 500 companies traded on the National Stock Exchange of India based on full market capitalization that meet certain eligibility requirements; it provides broad exposure across large-cap, mid-cap, and small-cap segments, collectively representing over 90% of the Indian stock market capitalization and nearly 80% of average daily turnover among more than 2,100 NSE-listed stocks. Launched on November 25, 2025, and listed on NASDAQ, the ETF features a competitive expense ratio of 0.19% and targets investors seeking diversified access to India's rapidly growing equity market.
The ETF invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in the component securities of the Nifty 500 Index or instruments providing similar economic exposure; it offers passive tracking of this all-cap benchmark without direct management of individual holdings. Issued by DBX ETF Trust and managed by DWS (a division of Deutsche Bank AG), with headquarters in New York, NY, the fund operates primarily in the United States while providing exposure to Indian equities for global investors.
In a major recent development, DWS announced and launched the Xtrackers Nifty 500 India ETF on November 25, 2025, marking it as the first U.S.-based ETF tracking the Nifty 500 Index and expanding the Xtrackers U.S. product suite to 42 ETFs with approximately USD 29 billion in assets under management as of November 13, 2025. This launch underscores strategic focus on India's economic growth and increasing weight in emerging markets benchmarks, with endorsements from NSE Indices highlighting its role in capturing diversified growth across market caps. No additional acquisitions, partnerships, or reorganizations have been reported for the ETF since inception.
