Five New db X-Trackers Launched In XTF Segment On Xetra

The db x-trackers SHORTDAX ETF (ISIN: LU0292106241) tracks the performance of the ShortDAX. The index, which is calculated by Deutsche Börse, is inversely linked to movements on the DAX.

Thus investors are able to focus on bearish markets at short notice or diversify a whole portfolio without using derivates”, said Thorsten Michalik, Head of Exchange Traded Funds at Deutsche Bank.
