DWS Launches Xtrackers US 0-1 Year Treasury ETF (TRSY)

NEW YORK, NY – October 09, 2024 – DWS, one of the world’s leading asset managers, announced today the launch of the Xtrackers U.S. 0-1 Year Treasury ETF (CBOE: TRSY), designed to track the performance of the ICE U.S. Treasury Short Bond Index (IDCOTS). This new ETF provides investors exposure to U.S. Treasuries with a remaining maturity between one month and one year.

TRSY aims to address institutional and retail client needs, from cash management to portfolio diversification.

“As a versatile addition to our lineup to help investors manage risk and asset liquidity, this ETF highlights DWS’s commitment to providing investors with the tools to navigate market volatility,” says Henry Wu, Head of Xtrackers Products, U.S.

Amanda Rebello, Head of Xtrackers Sales, U.S. Onshore, said: “In the current interest rate environment, TRSY has the potential to offer investors with an opportunity to capitalize on yields at the short end of the curve, which are still higher than the historical average, despite the recent Fed action. Moreover, in periods of market uncertainty, it could serve as a useful risk-off tool to help preserve capital, providing a conservative risk-return profile.”

Description of Underlying Index and Expense Ratios

The Xtrackers US 0-1 Year Treasury ETF seeks investment results that correspond generally to the performance, before fees and expenses, of the ICE U.S. Treasury Short Bond Index, which is designed to track the performance of certain U.S. Treasury securities that have a remaining maturity between one month and one year. To qualify for the Index, a U.S. Treasury security must have (i) a greater than one-month and less than or equal to one-year remaining term to final maturity as of the Index’s rebalancing date; (ii) a fixed coupon schedule; and (iii) an adjusted amount outstanding of at least $300 million.

The ETF is competitively priced with net/gross expense ratios of 0.06%.

The fund is not a money market fund and is not subject to the strict rules that govern the quality, maturity, liquidity and other features of securities that money market funds may purchase. Under normal circumstances, the fund’s investments may be more susceptible than a money market fund’s investments to credit risk, interest rate risk, valuation risk and other risks relevant to the fund’s investments. U.S. Treasury obligations are backed by the “full faith and credit” of the U.S. government. The “full faith and credit” guarantee of the US government applies to the timely repayment of interest and does not eliminate market risk. Because of the rising US government debt burden, it is possible that the US government may not be able to meet its financial obligations or that securities issued by the US government may experience credit downgrades. An investment in this fund should be considered only as a supplement to a complete investment program for those investors willing to accept the risks associated with the fund. Please read the prospectus for more information.
