LONDON - Xtrackers (IE) plc, an investment company, has announced that the reference indices for two of its exchange-traded funds (ETFs) will undergo name changes effective February 10, 2025. The Xtrackers ESG UCITS ETF and Xtrackers S&P 500 Equal Weight ESG UCITS ETF will be renamed to reflect the updated titles of their respective reference indices.

The S&P 500 ESG Index, the current reference for the Xtrackers S&P 500 ESG UCITS ETF, will be renamed the S&P 500 Scored & Screened Index.

These amendments will not affect the investment objectives, policies, risk profiles, or fees of the funds. Both funds will continue to comply with the disclosure requirements of a financial product under Article 8(1) of the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR).

Revised fund documentation, including the supplement and the key investor information document for each fund, will be made available on the Xtrackers website around the effective date of the changes.
