Xtrackers II US Treasuries UCITS ETF 2D EUR Hedged (XUTE.DE) is a physically replicated exchange-traded fund that tracks the iBoxx USD Treasuries EUR Hedged Index, providing exposure to a broad range of USD-denominated bonds issued by the US government across all maturities with euro currency hedging to mitigate FX risk. The ETF employs an optimized sampling replication method, holding approximately 296 securities including top holdings such as United States Treasury Notes in various coupons like 4.375%, 4.25%, 4.5%, and 4%; it distributes interest income quarterly to investors. Domiciled in Luxembourg as a UCITS-compliant SICAV structure with a total expense ratio of 0.10% p.a., the fund manages approximately EUR 1.1 billion in assets and lists on major European exchanges including Xetra, Borsa Italiana, gettex, and Stuttgart.
Launched on 30 November 2016 by Xtrackers, the ETF brand of DWS Group GmbH—a leading global asset manager headquartered in Frankfurt, Germany—the fund targets institutional and retail investors seeking low-cost, liquid access to US Treasuries within a hedged European framework. Xtrackers ETFs, with over $167 billion in total assets under management as of early 2024, operate primarily in Europe, the UK, and select international markets, emphasizing fixed income, equities, and thematic strategies.
In recent developments, DWS expanded its US Treasury ETF suite by launching three new maturity-specific products, enhancing granularity in fixed income offerings alongside XUTE.DE; the firm also reduced fees on five Xtrackers ETFs in June 2025 and introduced active and factor-based strategies like the Xtrackers RREEF Global Real Estate Active UCITS ETF in February 2024. Further innovations include collaborations with STOXX for a Europe Defence Technologies ETF in September 2025 and small-cap ETFs in August 2025, reflecting DWS's ongoing product diversification amid rising demand for specialized UCITS wrappers. No material changes, such as index switches, mergers, or fee adjustments specific to XUTE.DE, were announced in 2024 or 2025.
