Xtrackers Russell 2000

ETF description

This ETF tracks the performance of the Russell 2000 Index, which represents 2,000 small‑cap companies in the United States. Small‑cap companies are typically smaller and less established than large‑cap firms, but they can offer higher growth potential. The fund provides exposure to a broad range of sectors and industries within the U.S. economy, giving investors access to companies that are at an earlier stage of growth compared to larger, more established firms.

This ETF may appeal to investors who are looking for growth opportunities and are willing to accept more risk.
