Date 08/10/2013

Two new equity index funds issued by ComStage ETF have been tradable on Xetra since Tuesday. Investors will be able to participate for the first time in the performance of the FTSE China A50 Index and the MSCI World with EM Exposure Net Index.

Benchmark: FTSE China A50 Index USD Preisindex

The ComStage ETF FTSE China A50 UCITS ETF enables investors to invest in A-class equities in the 50 largest Chinese companies via an exchange-listed ETF. A-class equities are shares in Chinese companies that are traded in Chinese currency (renminbi) in Shanghai and Shenzhen. These equities used to be reserved exclusively for domestic investors. Since 2006, however, this restriction for foreigners has been relaxed and trading contingents put in place to allow foreign investors to trade in these securities. The reference index is a price index weighted by free float market capitalisation which does not account for dividend payments.

ETF name: ComStage ETF MSCI World with EM Exposure Net UCITS ETF
Asset class: equity index ETF
ISIN: LU0947416961
Total expense ratio: 0.50 percent
Distribution policy: non-distributing
Benchmark: MSCI World with EM Exposure Net Index

The new ComStage MSCI World with EM Exposure ETF enables investors to participate in the performance of the 300 different companies in the MSCI World Index which show the greatest economic commitment in emerging market countries. The individual companies are weighted by the share of their total revenue generated in emerging markets.

The product offering in Deutsche Börse’s XTF segment currently comprises a total of 1,033 exchange-listed index funds, making it the largest offering of all European stock exchanges. This selection, together with an average monthly trading volume of €11 billion, makes Xetra Europe’s leading trading venue for ETFs.
