Xtrackers FTSE 250

ETF description

This ETF aims to track the performance of the FTSE 250 Index, which includes 250 mid‑sized companies listed on the London Stock Exchange. These companies are generally larger than small‑cap firms but smaller than those in the FTSE 100, making them a key part of the UK economy. The fund provides investors with exposure to a diverse range of industries, offering a way to invest in companies that are well‑established but still have growth potential.

It could appeal to those looking to diversify their portfolio with UK mid‑cap stocks, which tend to be more dynamic and have higher growth potential than larger companies, though they may come with more risk. Investors interested in gaining broad exposure to UK businesses outside of the largest firms may find this ETF a suitable option for balancing growth and stability.
