Xtrackers MSCI World ex USA

ETF description

This ETF is designed to give investors exposure to a wide range of companies from developed markets around the world, excluding the United States. It tracks an index that includes large and medium‑sized businesses from countries in Europe, Asia, and other developed regions. The goal is to provide a way for investors to gain access to global markets without focusing on U.S. companies, allowing for more geographic diversification.

This ETF might appeal to investors who already have exposure to U.S. stocks and are looking to balance their portfolio with international companies. It could also be of interest to those who want to invest in developed markets outside of the U.S. and benefit from economic growth in regions like Europe or Asia.
