- Xtrackers MSCI USA Selection Equity ETF (USSG) is an exchange-traded fund that seeks investment results corresponding generally to the performance, before fees and expenses, of the MSCI USA Selection Index, a capitalization-weighted index providing exposure to large- and mid-cap U.S. companies with high environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance relative to their sector peers; the fund employs a full replication technique, holding approximately 277 securities as of September 30, 2025, with top holdings including NVIDIA Corporation (14.91%), Microsoft Corporation (11.98%), Alphabet Inc. Class A (4.63%), and Tesla, Inc.

Launched on March 6, 2019, and issued by Xtrackers, a brand of DWS Group GmbH & Co. KGaA (headquartered in Frankfurt am Main, Germany), the ETF operates primarily in the U.S. equity market, targeting institutional and retail investors seeking broad, diversified sustainability benchmarks with relatively low tracking error to the broader U.S. equity market; as of September 30, 2025, net assets stand at approximately $597 million, with a net expense ratio of 0.09%, quarterly distributions, and a beta of 1.00 relative to its benchmark.
In a significant recent development effective February 3, 2025, the fund changed its name from Xtrackers MSCI USA ESG Leaders Equity ETF to Xtrackers MSCI USA Selection Equity ETF, accompanied by a rebranding of its underlying index from MSCI USA ESG Leaders Index to MSCI USA Selection Index, with no alterations to the index methodology or the fund's investment policies; additionally, effective June 30, 2022, the MSCI USA Index replaced the S&P 500 Index as the broad-based securities market benchmark to better reflect the fund's large- and mid-cap U.S. market exposure.
