Xtrackers MSCI World Consumer Staples

ETF description

This ETF is designed to follow the performance of large and mid‑sized companies around the world that operate in the consumer staples sector. Consumer staples are products that people tend to buy regularly regardless of economic conditions—these include food, beverages, household goods, and personal care items. Because of the consistent demand for these types of products, the companies in this sector can show more stable revenues than businesses in more economically sensitive areas.

This ETF might appeal to investors who are looking for exposure to a specific part of the global economy that has historically been viewed as more resilient during economic downturns.
