New Xtrackers ETFs from DWS reduce investment risks caused by the loss of biodiversity

November 6, 2023--DWS is expanding its range of sustainable investment products with three new Xtrackers ETFs. The listed index funds offer investors the opportunity to invest in companies in Europe, the US and worldwide that have a lower negative impact on the earth's ecosystems than the market average.

The Xtrackers Biodiversity Focus SRI UCITS ETFs for the US investment region and the global equity market were listed on the London Stock Exchange today, following the listing of all three ETFs on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange on 3 November.

Biodiversity, the diversity of life on earth, is of great importance not only from an ecological but also from an economic perspective. Studies estimate the global value of ecosystem services- i.e. the benefits that people derive from nature-at between USD 125 and 140 trillion per year.[1] The World Economic Forum predicts that the loss of biodiversity will have the third largest negative impact on humanity in the next ten years after climate change and extreme weather.[2]
