- Xtrackers Russell 1000 US Quality at a Reasonable Price ETF (QARP) is an exchange-traded fund that seeks investment results corresponding generally to the performance, before fees and expenses, of the Russell 1000 2Qual/Val 5% Capped Factor Index, a multifactor index designed to capture exposure to large-cap U.S. equities exhibiting strong quality and value factor characteristics; the fund employs a sampling strategy to replicate index performance while holding approximately 351 securities across sectors including information technology (24.76%), consumer discretionary (14.76%), communication services (13.64%), health care (11.39%), and others, with top holdings such as NVIDIA (5.99%), Apple (5.88%), Meta Platforms Class A (4.86%), Amazon.com (4.73%), and Berkshire Hathaway Class B (4.73%) as of September 30, 2025. Launched on April 4, 2018, and issued by DBX ETF Trust with investment advice from DBX Advisors LLC, a subsidiary of DWS Group GmbH & Co. KGaA headquartered in Frankfurt, Germany, QARP features a net expense ratio of 0.19%, net assets of approximately $68.45 million, a CUSIP of 233051242, and quarterly dividend distributions with a SEC 30-day yield of 1.12% (subsidized and unsubsidized). The ETF targets institutional and retail investors seeking large-blend exposure to U.S. equities emphasizing quality metrics like profitability and leverage alongside value metrics to avoid value traps, with operations focused on the U.S. market through NYSE Arca listing (tickers QARP, QARP.NV for NAV, QARP.IV for intraday).
In recent developments, DWS, the parent entity behind Xtrackers, launched three new Xtrackers ETFs in late 2025 representing an evolution of traditional factor strategies, enhancing its lineup of systematic investment solutions alongside QARP; additionally, in September 2025, an Xtrackers ETF transitioned to the new STOXX Europe Total Market Leaders Index, signaling ongoing product innovation and index provider partnerships under the Xtrackers brand. No major acquisitions, funding rounds, or strategic alliances specific to QARP were reported in 2024 or 2025, though DWS continues to expand its ETF franchise with a focus on retail investor access and geographic growth in Europe and the U.S. The fund maintains steady operational characteristics, including full replication potential via creation/redemption units handled by authorized participants, with performance tracking closely to its benchmark (e.g., 1-year return of 10.63% at NAV as of September 30, 2025).
